Mas Lou IGP - Côtes de Thongue Inti blanc 2023
2*Coup de Coeur

90/100
RVF
"A real favorite in Côtes de Thongue!"
"A triumphant entry into the Guide for the region, featuring a charming white wine made from Vermentino and Viognier grapes. Vinification and barrel aging impart rich, milky, and pastry-like notes to the nose, with a hint of gunflint for complexity. The fruit (peach and apricot) nuances a delicate, smooth palate, lingering on fresh butter in the finish. A refined, delicious, remarkably well-aged wine: the Favorite question."

About wine:
A triumphant entry into the Guide for the region, featuring a charming white wine made from Vermentino and Viognier grapes. Vinification and barrel aging impart rich, milky, and pastry-like notes to the nose, with a hint of gunflint for complexity. Fruit (peach and apricot) nuances a delicate, creamy palate, lingering on fresh butter in the finish. A refined, indulgent, remarkably well-aged wine: the Favorite dispute.
About the estate:
Oenologists Adèle Arnaud and Olivier Gil trained with renowned winemakers before settling in this Haut-Languedoc estate in 2014. They cultivate (organically) 11 hectares of old vines in the Faugères appellation and 4 hectares in the Côtes de Thongue PGI. Manual harvesting and indigenous yeasts are the norm here.

About wine:
Viognier and Vermentino, two powerful southern varieties, complement each other in this cuvée, which is vinified and aged in barrels, offering silky depth but a slight lack of acidity. Best enjoyed in a year or so.
About the estate:
Adèle and Olivier met in Montpellier before working in different areas of Collioure. The call of schist led them to Faugères, more precisely to Fos, where they found pockets of old vines. In less than 10 years, they have become the new face of the appellation and now offer a frank and accurate definition of schist terroirs. Their vines, which are on average over 30 years old, are nestled between 200 and 400 meters above sea level. The different styles of wine are the result of meticulous work on each individual plot, and a conversion to organic farming was begun in 2019. With the 2022 harvest, the couple acquired a new location: a winery on the road to Pézenas, complete with a very comfortable guesthouse.

Very low acidity, very rounded, fairly full-bodied and fruity. We loved it. Very good value for money.
