- A full-flavoured and aromatic naturally-made wine with appealing notes of white flowers, citrus flavours, exotic fruit and crisp green apple. Beautifully balanced, the fruit is layered with funky mineral undertones through to a precise finish. In most of the Languedoc, the 2023 growing season started well, with an average winter, dry in some places but sufficient rainfall in others and no damaging frosts. Rainfall in May and June required vigilance in the vineyards amid disease pressure in the humid climate. Much of the region experienced extreme drought during the summer months, and a four-day heatwave starting on the 20th of August brought temperatures of 43°C and resulted in an early harvest.
The wine was made with minimal intervention and without the addition of sulphites. The carefully selected grapes were received into the winery via gravity and immediately pressed to extract the juice. Fermentation occurred with natural, wild yeasts on the grape’s skin at low temperatures of 16 to 18°C. Vinification took place in neutral concrete tanks to allow the purity of the fruit and the wine’s natural characteristics to shine through. The wine was aged on its fine lees to impart texture until bottling.

| Winery | Both the Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc are grown in vineyards in the Languedoc Roussillon, where the Mediterranean climate, with its hot, dry summers and mild winters, provides optimal conditions for premium viticulture. The vines are grown on clay-limestone soils, which provide the perfect balance of water retention from the clay component to hydrate the vines through the summers, with the draining properties of the limestone, which also imparts elegance to the wine. The Chardonnay vineyard is situated at the base of a volcanic hillside, influencing the wine with natural, fresh minerality. The grapes are harvested at night to cool and maximise their freshness. The wine is classified as Vin de France to allow stylistic freedom. |
