Domaine du Mas des Armes - L'Âme des Pierres 2016
Languedoc
White
Sold individually
Drink or Keep
L'Âme des Pierres is in the tradition of the great Languedoc white wines, a mature wine that expresses its expressive, concentrated Mediterranean character, opening with notes of Roussillon peach and apricot, and lime blossom. Its opulence, fullness and roundness are balanced by the distinctive freshness of Aniane terroirs. And a great ageing potential to boot!
