"A great Languedoc white
Renard Blanc is a singularly expressive wine for ageing, where the power of Grenache Gris is tempered by the finesse of Maccabeu. Fresh, rich and complex, dominated by peach and apricot, with hints of pineapple and citrus, it is round on the palate, revealing exceptional fatness, balanced by remarkable minerality and a generous, long-lasting finish.
