Description

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.

Serving recommendations

Serve: 8–10 °C. Pairs well with: grilled white fish, chicken with lemon sauce, or light goat cheese salads.

About brand

Domaine Ampelhus is a 12-hectare winery located in the Languedoc region of France. The estate is managed by former Lithuanian pharmacist Ženia Vasiljeva Vermillard and her husband Thibauld Vermillard, who took over the family vineyards in 2015. The producers apply biodynamic winemaking principles and have won the prestigious "Best Young Winemaker of France" award. The assortment is dominated by wines made from traditional and rare historical grape varieties.

Vineyard Characteristics

The vineyards of Domaine Ampelhus are distinguished by specific natural conditions and history:

  • Soil: Dominated by round stones (galets roulés) formed by the Rhône River 400,000 years ago. These stones accumulate the sun's heat and transfer it to the vines.
  • Vine Age: The harvest is gathered from 40 to 70-year-old vines planted by Thibauld's grandfather.
  • Grape Varieties: Alongside classic 'Muscat' or 'Grenache', the estate has revived and cultivates rare historical varieties – 'Piquepoul Noir', 'Terret Noir', and 'Rivairenc'.

Wine Style

The estate's production is focused on naturalness and revealing the true characteristics of the region:

  • White Wine: Stands out for its minerality, full texture, and pure aroma.
  • Red Wine: Features notes of red berries, freshness, and soft tannins.

Due to their well-balanced acidity, the wines can be enjoyed young, but the red wines possess a well-defined structure that allows them to continue maturing gracefully in the bottle.
