(2018 vintage notes)

This Languedoc white wine, made from Grenache and Marsanne grapes with a touch of Roussanne, delivers on all its promises. Well-balanced, it oscillates between fruity aromas of pear and candied citrus, delicate floral nuances of honeysuckle, sweet spices, and finally a crystalline finish. Generous, subtle, and elegant ! An ideal white wine for summer meals and for accompanying your grilled fish!

About the estate:

Liz Williamson is from New Zealand and Robin is English. In 2004, they chose the Jurassic limestone and flint soil of the hills of Murviel-lès-Montpellier, on a site close to Roman ruins offering stunning views of the Mediterranean, to create their estate: 13 hectares farmed organically.

About the estate:

Robin Williamson is English, Liz is New Zealand. In 2004, they found this estate in the Grès de Montpellier to start their new life as winemakers. The estate quickly obtained organic certification, and the diversity of its wines, including sparkling, white, and red, is truly delightful! They have expanded the estate from 6.5 hectares when they first moved in to 14 hectares today. We are delighted to welcome them here.
