Soft and smooth on the palate, this wine is underpinned by a lovely, long-lingering tension and discloses notes of white flowers and vineyard peaches. A pure, deep white wine of crystalline appearance.
Carcassonne’s fortifications provide the perfect vantage point for gazing over the wine country that peacefully encircles the city, with Malepère bordering to the west, Minervois and Corbières to the east, and to the south, the foothills of the Pyrenees.
The grapes are picked at night to preserve the grapes’ quality potential. After a first settling of the gross lees for 12 hours at room temperature, the must is cooled and kept on its fine lees at a low temperature for several days, in order to develop the potential and aromatic complexity before the start of fermentation, at 17-18°C for around 15 days.
Pairs well with avocado and fresh crab toasts, cod fritters or asparagus in butter.
