Our take on this vintage

With a bright, pale gold color, this Grand Vin Blanc reveals a delicate nose of roasted white fruits, candied lemon, and subtle toasted notes. On the palate, it is round and full-bodied, offering a surprisingly dense, almost pulpy texture that pairs perfectly with a subtle freshness and a light effervescence. This perfectly balanced wine stands out for its concentrated finish, where a lemony bite blends with woody notes and a smooth body. Its aromatic complexity is a delight for the senses, with each sip revealing new nuances and enriching the tasting experience.

Languedoc | France

After gaining experience with traditional Champagne winemaking methods, Jean-Louis Denois identified certain hillsides in the Languedoc as having conditions favorable to the cultivation of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The altitude, exposure, and soil composition here provide an ideal setting for these grape varieties—rarely associated with the region—to flourish.

The winemaking process emphasizes a restrained approach, focusing on freshness and aromatic precision rather than sheer power. The white wines retain a distinct liveliness, underpinned by subtle mineral notes, while the reds are crafted through gentle extraction, resulting in fine, well-integrated tannins.

The winemaking process remains understated and tailored to each vintage, with the aim of supporting the wine without dictating its character. The collection offers a balanced and coherent expression of these Languedoc terroirs, emphasizing precision and clarity rather than a showy interpretation.
