Cuvée De L'odyssée

2005 Limoux Chardonnay

Chateau Rives-Blanques Cuvée De L'odyssée from the Limoux region is a delightful expression of Chardonnay that showcases the best characteristics of this varietal. This white wine features a medium body, offering a pleasing weight that is complemented by a bright acidity, making it refreshingly vibrant on the palate. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing luscious notes of ripe stone fruits along with hints of citrus that elevate its overall appeal. The wine is dry, allowing the flavors to shine without any cloying sweetness, while its delicately structured tannins provide a smooth finish.

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.
