"L'Occitania is a unique wine in typical Limoux style. Discover this historic grape variety, Mauzac, at Gem !"
Occitania was the first 100% Mauzac in the Limoux appellation to be entirely vinified in oak barrels. This charming cuvée, with its peach and apricot aromas, will be the perfect accompaniment to your meals.

Expert opinion
Jancis Robinson
Rated wine (guide 2022 ) 17.5/20
About the wine:
Pure Occitanie: white honey, white flowers, white citrus, lace and white ribbons [...] Notes of grapefruit marmalade and the dry floral warmth of freshly mown hay. This wine will be magnificent for some time to come.

Delicious and well-balanced, with a touch of white pepper on the finish. Made from organically grown grapes. Drink now
