Les Hautes Terres Estate - Louis 2015

Domaine Les Hautes Terres - Louis 2015

15,5/20

RVF

(Notes from the 2014 vintage)

Vinified naturally in demi-muids of several wines, this white is the expression of minerality! Chenin brings its floral freshness (honeysuckle, lime blossom) and Chardonnay brings riper fruit (quince, apricot). A finely crafted Limoux, straightforward and surprisingly fresh... A very successful bottle!

Wine rating (2017 guide) 15.5/20 (2014 vintage) (Good wine)

Rated estate (2017 guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking and, as such, all the estates listed in it, even those without stars, represent, in our opinion, the excellence of French production.)

About the estate:

We are delighted to welcome Gilles Azam's estate to our Guide. Located in the upper Aude valley, in the commune of Roquetaillade, it may well become the future communal cru of Limoux. For several years now, this production, centered around a few well-defined vintages, has established itself as a useful reference point for the entire appellation. The fruit of careful viticulture, conscious of the value of the location and its historical foundations, these wines have a strong character and are always intense and fresh, blossoming when exposed to air and paired with flavorful foods.
