(Notes from the 2013 vintage)

With aromas of white flowers and flavors of white fruit, this white Languedoc wine is both full-bodied and easy to drink. The acidity is well-balanced. It is a dry, fresh wine, perfect for pairing with grilled white fish or fish baked in foil.

Review by Mr. PIERRE ALEXANDRE A. Published on May 21, 2018

I'm not a fan, but it's good value for money. Others liked it, but I didn't. It has a nice freshness and a bitter finish.
