"This great white wine from the Languedoc has everything to please and satisfy wine lovers!"
Le Renard Blanc is a wine with aging potential that expresses itself in a unique way, where the power of Grenache Gris is tempered by the liveliness of Petit Manseng. Fresh, rich, and complex, with dominant notes of yellow fruit, pineapple, and citrus, it is round on the palate, revealing exceptional body, balanced by remarkable minerality and a generous, very persistent finish.

Wine rated (2024 guide) 91-92/100 (Jonathan Choukroun Chicheportiche)
About the wine:
The nose is aromatic and refined, offering a rich, full-bodied character, power, and intensity. It reveals notes of refined minerality, fresh garrigue, and a hint of quince, combined with hints of creamy yellow berries, fresh olive, and a subtle hint of oak. The palate is fruity and offers juiciness, a tangy structure, precision, tension, suppleness, minerality, energy, and a lovely, vibrant quality. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of quince, pulpy yellow peach, and a hint of citrus, combined with a touch of physalis, subtle hints of zest, and a subtle hint of local garrigue/fresh flowers, almost olive and briny (in the background). Good length. A very subtle hint of toast.
