2021 Les Hautes Terres Autres Terres Blanc

50 % Chardonnay / 50% Mauzac

Located in the Aude valley, on the very edge of Languedoc, a remarkably beautiful place filled with ancient stories. Geneviève and Gilles live and work at the very top of a 600m summit overlooking land that was once occupied by the armies of Charlemagne.

Their home and cellar comes from Gilles's grandfather, atop a rocky cliff surrounded by rugged wildnerness. For 20 years they've been slowly building the domain which now includes a bottling and riddling facility 10 minutes away from the house. From here they help out a lot of smaller winemakers, offering equipment and expertise. They know the land well and take a lot of pride in their viticultural map of the place.

Chardonnay undergoes full malolactic fermentation, Mauzac does not. Aged six months in concrete vats.  Citrus, green apple, honey and a touch of pineapple
