From our best clay-limestone hillsides, the 20-year-old vines are subject to the dual Atlantic and Mediterranean influence.
Signature Sommelier Fabrice Sommier
Cuvée Prestige Chardonnay Viognier White Wine
All vintages are from parcels carefully selected for the quality of our vines, located in the South of France near the town of Carcassonne. This very sunny terroir with rocky soils, maritime humidity and wind, has all the conditions to create very fruity wines of great finesse. All the wines come from vineyards that are about 30 years old and all the grapes are sorted during the harvest to select only the best.
