White dry
A wine from the Languedoc region in southern France, crafted by the organically farmed Domaine Ampelhus estate. Made from ‘Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains’ and ‘Viognier’ grapes, this wine captivates with its natural fruit expression, refreshing style, and a gentle touch of aromatic warmth characteristic of the region.
In the glass, it reveals aromas of citrus fruits, pineapple, peach, white flowers, and honey, complemented by subtle herbal and almond nuances. The bouquet is lively, inviting, and warm, maintaining an excellent balance between fruitiness and freshness.
On the palate, the wine is light, fresh, and harmonious, with a soft texture and a delicate interplay between sweetness and acidity. Flavors of ripe stone fruits, citrus, and herbs unfold into a smooth, mineral-driven finish.
The grapes are grown near Lunel-Viel (Hérault), on quartzite, sandy, and limestone soils, which lend the wine its lightness, purity, and minerality. It is fermented with native yeasts, unfiltered, and aged in stainless steel tanks to preserve the wine’s natural aromatic freshness.
Serve: 8–10 °C. Pairs well with: grilled white fish, chicken with lemon sauce, or light goat cheese salads.
