The wine region of Aude
Vast Languedoc IGP covering the entire department: signature Syrah and Grenache as king reds — fruity and sun-drenched with cherry, blackberry, raspberry, garrigue, Mediterranean spices and a peppery touch, supple tannins. Carignan, Mourvèdre, Merlot and Cabernet as backup. Fresh, aromatic whites from Chardonnay, Viognier, Sauvignon and Muscat (citrus, exotic fruits, flowers). Tender rosés.
The wine region of Pays d'Oc
The single-grape IGP par excellence: modern, accessible, frank and fruity wines, the popular signature of the Midi. Spicy Syrah reds (pepper, blackberry), round Merlot, structured Cabernet, generous Grenache, supple Cinsault. Crisp, tangy rosés. Opulent Chardonnay whites, lively Sauvignon, floral, apricoty Viognier.
The word of the wine: Aging on lees
Maturing on the lees enhances the stability, aromatic complexity and texture of white wines, which gain in body and volume. This phenomenon is induced by autolysis, the process of self-degradation of the lees.
