"The Chablis of the south! We love this wine! Crisp, green and white fruits, with lovely underlying acidity. An ancient variety that is well worth trying."

This ancient Languedoc variety that grows around the Thau lagoon was largely forgotten at the end of the 20th century before finding favour again with the resurgence of the Languedoc cultural identity. Pale gold with greenish gleams. The nose is bright and fresh with delightful notes of exotic and citrus fruit. In the mouth it is pure and refreshing but also has lovely full fruity notes and a characteristically saline touch. This typical grape variety from our region pairs perfectly with a seafood platter, fish dishes, shellfish and white meats. A must try!
