(Notes from the 2013 vintage)

With a nose of white flowers and a palate of white fruits, this white Languedoc cuvée is both ripe and easy to drink. The acidity is well controlled. It is a dry, fresh wine, perfect for accompanying grilled or en papillote white fish.

Note and opinion by Mr. PIERRE ALEXANDRE A. Published on 05/21/2018

Not a fan, but the value for money is there. Others liked it, I didn't so much. A nice freshness and bitterness on the finish.
