“Las Planelos? The name of the sandy-clay plot that gave rise to this Chenin and Chardonnay blend. The nose combines notes of broom, apricot, and fresh hazelnut, subtly accented by a delicate hint of vanilla. A harmonious profile that carries through to a soft palate, featuring a touch of sweetness perfectly balanced by “top-notch” acidity. A lovely finish with notes of linden honey, fig, and toast. ” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins) A Limoux that rivals the great wines of the Languedoc!

Wine rated (2020 guide) 14/20 (Good wine)

Rated estate (2020 guide): 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable production, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the wine:

A powerful, ripe, and very well-integrated nose, with sweet vanilla, white fruits, bergamot, and lily; the palate is warm and full-bodied, with slightly pronounced oak, a hint of bitterness, and a fresh finish. Full of character. For fans of rich, oaky white wines, this one is very well made.

About the estate:

Julia Hubrich and Julien Gil are two passionate young winemakers who have been based for less than ten years on a rocky plateau just outside the Limoux appellation. They cultivate and produce wine from their nine hectares in the most natural way possible: “It’s not the cellar that improves the wine, but the work of the winemaker in the vineyard.” One cannot help but admire the progress and consistency of all the estate’s wines, which have become a must-try.

About the estate:

Two young winemakers and a young winery, established in 2006. Originally from Dresden, Julia trained in Montpellier and the Bordeaux region. As for Julien, a native of southern France who has been passionate about cooking and wine since his teens, he took a detour through the Médoc to learn the trade. The couple began by “saving” 2 hectares of old Carignan vines that were slated for uprooting, then acquired vineyards in the Limoux AOC. In total, they now have 10 hectares.
