Clocher de Pieusse

2006 Limoux Chardonnay

Clocher Clocher de Pieusse is a stunning 2006 Chardonnay hailing from the renowned Limoux region. This white wine showcases a full-bodied character that beautifully balances its robust richness with a bright and refreshing acidity. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing delightful notes of ripe apple and pear intertwined with subtle hints of citrus, creating a harmonious flavor profile that dances on the palate. While the tannins are soft and well-integrated, they provide a gentle structure that supports the wine's complexity. This Chardonnay is also intriguingly dry, making it an excellent companion for a variety of dishes, from grilled chicken to creamy pasta, and it reflects the unique terroir of Limoux with every sip.

Region:


Languedoc-Roussillon
Languedoc-Roussillon

France's oldest and largest winemaking region, the Languedoc-Roussillon stretches around the sun-kissed Mediterranean from Roussillon to Provence. Taking in everything from rugged mountain slopes to breezy coastline, this vast region features various climates and terroirs. Outside of its famous AOCs like Minervois, Corbières and Saint-Chinian, many Languedoc wines are made in the less restrictive IGP classification, in particular the Pays d'Oc. There are many wine styles made in Languedoc, but full-bodied reds blending Grenache, Syrah, Carignan, Mourvèdre and Cinsault are the most common. For summer drinking, look to its fruity rosé, rounded Chardonnay and zingy Picpoul. You will often find grape varieties stated on the label of Languedoc's IGP wines, an uncommon practice in much of France.
