Mas Lou IGP - Côtes de Thongue Inti blanc 2023

Guide Hachette des vins

About the wine:

The domaine's debut in the Guide is a charming white made from Vermentino and Viognier grapes. Vinification and barrel ageing mark the nose with gourmand, milky and pastry notes, with a touch of gunflint for complexity. The fruit (peach and apricot) adds nuance to a delicate, unctuous mouthfeel, with fresh butter on the finish. A refined, gourmet wine with remarkable ageing potential: Favorite is a no-brainer.

About the wine:

Viognier and vermentino, two powerful southern varietals, join forces in this cuvée, vinified and aged in barrel, with silky depth but a slight acidity deficit. To be seen in a short year.

About the domain :

Adèle and Olivier met in Montpellier before working at various estates in Collioure. The call of the schist led them to Faugères, more precisely to Fos, where they found islands of old vines. In less than 10 years, they have become the new face of the appellation, and today offer a frank and fair definition of schist terroirs. Their vines, on average over 30 years old, nestle at altitudes of between 200 and 400 meters. The different styles of wine are the result of assiduous parcel-by-parcel work, and an organic conversion has been initiated for 2019. With the 2022 harvest, the couple have taken on a new location: a cellar on the road to Pézenas, complemented by a very comfortable gîte.
