Le Limoux

2013 Limoux Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc

Chateau Rives-Blanques Le Limoux from the renowned Limoux region is a delightful expression of two classic varietals: Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc. This 2013 vintage showcases a vibrant white color that entices the senses right from the pour. On the palate, it presents a harmonious balance of bright acidity and a medium-bodied character, resulting in a refreshing mouthfeel that is both lively and inviting. The fruit intensity is prominent, featuring notes of citrus and stone fruits that dance across the palate, while underlying hints of floral and mineral tones add complexity and depth. The finish is crisp and clean, with a subtle dryness that makes it a perfect companion for a variety of dishes, from seafood to poultry, enhancing any dining experience with its charming elegance.

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.
