"One of the finest Roussillon wines with its honeyed notes".

"Notes of honey, preserved lemon, fennel, walnut: the white is perfectly integrated into the Roussillon panorama, with the mark of a seductive vinification that highlights the altitude of the plots" (Le Guide de la RVF 2026).

About the wine:

Notes of honey, preserved lemon, fennel, walnuts: this white is perfectly integrated into the Roussillon panorama, with the mark of a seductive winemaking process highlighting the altitude of the plots.

About the domain :

On the beautiful, high-altitude granite terraces of the Fenouillèdes region, northwest of Maury, Gérard Gauby and a few associates acquired this certified organic estate. In 2016, Wendy Wilson replaced Gerald Stanley, who had run the estate since 2008. The red and white wines are vinified in barrels on the basis of very natural principles: indigenous yeasts, no acidification, no chaptalization. Never lacking in freshness or elegance, the reds have recently gained in structure and fleshiness. But from the very first vintage, in 2001, Le Soula has distinguished itself primarily through its whites, which have impressed us with their purity and intensity: the combination of Macabeu, Sauvignon Blanc and several other grape varieties works wonders. The wines are often worth waiting for to reach their full expression.
