This Mediterranean cuvée, with its blend of 90% Vermentino and 10% Viognier, presents beautiful notes of evolution. The palate is suave and round, with a nice fatness and buttery tones. A real effort in the cellar is to be commended. This fine white should be served with creamy poultry, for example. A Languedoc white that's off the beaten track!

About the domain :
On the outskirts of Narbonne and bordering the Etang de Bages, the Quartouze plateau is a historic Languedoc terroir, with soils of rolled pebbles. The bishops of the cité& audoise had vineyards here. In 1983, engineer Georges Ortola bought an abandoned vineyard, then a second one five years later. Today, with his children Hélène and Nelson, he farms 120 ha biodynamically. His vineyard is used as pasture for sheep in winter.
