"This great white wine from Languedoc has everything to please and satisfy wine lovers!"
Le Renard Blanc is a wine for aging, expressing itself with uniqueness, where the power of Grenache Gris is tempered by the liveliness of Petit Manseng. Fresh, rich, and complex, dominated by yellow fruits, with notes of pineapple and citrus, it is round on the palate, revealing exceptional richness, balanced by remarkable minerality and a generous, very persistent finish.

Vert de Vin
Wine rated (2024 guide) 91-92/100 (Jonathan Choukroun Chicheportiche)
About wine:
The nose is aromatic, racy, and offers sapidity, a certain power, and intensity. There are notes of racy minerality, fresh garrigue, and a hint of quince, combined with touches of creamy yellow berries, fresh olive tree, and a subtle hint of volatility. The palate is fruity and offers juiciness, a tangy structure, precision, tension, suppleness, minerality, energy and a lovely little vibrant side. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of quince, pulpy yellow peach and, more subtly, citrus, combined with a hint of physalis, delicate touches of zest and a subtle hint of local garrigue/fresh flowers, almost olive tree and iodine (in the background). Good length. A very subtle hint of toast.
