“A blend of Terret, Grenache, and Carignan, its citrus and herbal aromas are irresistible. On the palate, the wine is crisp and dry. A beautiful white from the South.” (The Guide to the Best Wines of France 2020 - RVF) This wine brings together two 50-year-old vineyards dominated by the Terret Blanc grape variety. A very delicious white wine revealing aromas of fennel and lemon on the nose, with a tart attack on the palate, a silky smoothness, and a long, mouth-watering finish. The archetype of a delightful white wine!

Rated estate (2020 guide) 1*Star (A high-quality, recommendable wine that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
This charming estate comprises 18 hectares of vineyards divided into small plots located in Bize, in the Causses region of the Minervois—the foothills of the Montagne Noire—and at the northeastern edge of the appellation. It is an estate that is truly on the rise. Winemaking focuses on gentler, less aggressive extraction, so the wines gain precision in their fruit expression and a balance of freshness. As a result, they are enjoyable to drink, rich, and pleasing while retaining the estate’s signature tension and vitality. In addition to these Minervois wines, there is a range of particularly well-made IGP de l’Aude wines, with names obviously related to that of the estate.

About the estate:
Founded in 2002 by four partners—wine enthusiasts originally from Saumur—Le Loup Blanc produces Minervois wines blended from Languedoc grape varieties. From the outset, vineyard management has focused on organic and biodynamic farming. Each cuvée retains its distinct character: here you’ll find wines meant to be enjoyed for their fruitiness, as well as fine wines with aging potential. The estate features two comfortable and tastefully decorated guesthouses.

Fragrant, but a little too light for the price
