Very Limoux

2012 Limoux Chardonnay

With a bright, golden hue, this white wine invites with its vibrant aromas of green apple and citrus, complemented by delicate notes of toasted oak that reflect its careful aging. The wine exhibits a medium body that balances richness with a refreshing acidity, resulting in a mouthwatering experience. Fruit intensity is prominent, delivering layers of peach and pear, while the finish lingers with a subtle minerality. This Chardonnay is beautifully dry, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a sophisticated yet approachable wine. Ideal for pairing with seafood or light poultry dishes, it exemplifies the unique character of Limoux's terroir and promises to delight the palate.

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.
