"This Limoux will take you on a journey through a beautiful world of aromas—a wine to share over a good meal."

Fresh, mineral, and elegant, this wine combines finesse and richness with a wealth of aromas of roasted pineapple and spices. This Limoux is often compared to a great Burgundian Chardonnay.

Guide Hachette des vins

Wine noted (guide 2025) 1*Star (Very successful wine)

About the wine:

A pure, floral Chardonnay that highlights the variety’s roundness and its affinity with oak, resulting in a delightful, fresh, well-integrated wine that’s ready to be served with a meal.

Jancis Robinson

Wine rated (2024 guide) 16,5/20

About the wine:

A rich wine with notes of hazelnuts (even slightly caramelized) and hints of fresh garrigue. As with the Chenin Dédicace, the acidity is softer and more subtle than I expected from R-B wines, but there’s a firm framework of hazelnuts and walnuts surrounding the fruit, so the texture and structure are clearly present. A hint of licorice on the finish adds a pleasant touch.
