Our opinion on the vintage

This wine is distinguished by its luminous, pale gold color, which immediately catches the eye. On the nose, it offers a delicate aromatic intensity, blending the freshness of pink grapefruit, lemon pulp, and a subtle touch of vegetal blackcurrant. On the palate, the experience is equally captivating, with a round, ample, and invigoratingly fresh texture. The aromas evoke invigorating lemonade and mineral notes, enriched by a hint of crushed grass. The elegantly astringent finish leaves a lasting impression with nuances of grapefruit and a touch of peppermint, prolonging the pleasure of the tasting.

Jean-Louis Denois

Languedoc | France

After an experience steeped in Champagne-style winemaking, Jean-Louis Denois identified favorable conditions for growing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay on certain hillsides of Languedoc. Altitude, exposure, and soil type provide an environment conducive to the expression of these grape varieties, rarely associated with the region.

The winemaking process favors a measured approach, focused on freshness and aromatic precision rather than the pursuit of power. The white wines retain a marked tension, supported by discreet mineral expressions, while the reds are built on gentle extractions, resulting in fine and well-integrated tannins.

The winemaking process remains restrained and tailored to each vintage, with the aim of complementing the wine without influencing its character. The result is a balanced and coherent expression of these Languedoc terroirs, emphasizing precision and clarity rather than a demonstrative interpretation.
