La Marquise
The wine has a brilliant, clear and vibrant yellow colour. The 2022 vintage is a testament to the precise and careful work on our estate, offering a rich and refined aromatic expression. On the nose, delicate aromas of white flowers are enhanced by gourmet notes of toast and vanilla, subtly mixed with spicy touches of cardamom, cumin and white pepper.
On the palate, the balance is remarkable. The tannins, fine and elegant, provide a beautiful amplitude, supporting a harmonious structure. The tasting opens with generous flavours of peach, pineapple and papaya, evolving towards more complex nuances of vanilla, coconut and aniseed, which extend the sensation into a rich and captivating ending.
This white wine stands out for its typicity, depth and generosity. Its fine development in bottle confirms its belonging to the category of great Languedoc white wines, with a distinguished and unique character.
