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

Wine rated (2024 guide) 91-92/100 (Jonathan Choukroun Chicheportiche)
About the wine:
The nose is aromatic and refined, offering a lively character, a certain power, and intensity. It reveals notes of refined minerality, fresh garrigue, and a hint of quince, combined with touches of creamy yellow berries, fresh olive, and a subtle hint of volatility. The palate is fruity, offering 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 and fresh flowers—almost olive and iodine-like (in the background). Good length. A very subtle hint of toast.
