White Wine
The white wines of the Languedoc-Roussillon are delicious and will introduce you to grape varieties you’ve never heard of and will never forget. Many of the winemakers we have chosen are innovators and believe in their terroir and small parcel vineyards. Avant-garde winemaking makes for refreshing and unique flavors.

IGP Pays d'Oc
100% Grenache Blanc
Pure Grenache Blanc, this refined, organic white was born of old vines enriched by oyster fossilizations. The rich complexity holds notes of honey and fresh flowers, finishing with a touch of fine oak. La Diva Blanche imparts a lovely mouth coating without being heavy and is often compared to a fine White Burgundy because of its subtlety and elegance.
AOP Limoux
100% Chenin Blanc
This stunning, pale yellow wine with golden reflections is full of freshness with minerality as its support. Layers of citrus, verbena, wild herbs, fennel pollen and clementine zest shimmer around this strong structure. The wine has beautiful tension and a touch of tannins making it a spectacular food wine.
AOC Collioure Controlee
90% Grenache Gris, 10% Grenache Blanc
A robust white food wine with a nose of ripe pear with iodized and aniseed notes. A dense and saline mouth, full of freshness and minerality. Iodized scents emanating from the glass recall the sea winds and landscape around Banyuls. One of the great whites from the South of France, thoroughly impressive with its depth and length, and it ages well too, if you can wait.
IGP Pays D'Oc
100% Chardonnay
Winner of multiple Silver and Gold medals in France and Vienna, including Gold at the Concours Général Agricole de Paris, this organic unoaked Chardonnay delights and surprises. Inviting aromas of tropical fruit, banana, and pineapple glide into a gentle, fresh finish. The “perfect gentleman,” Le Galant is accommodating in structure and mouth feel with charming notes of brioche, nuts, and fig.
AOP Languedoc
70% Grenache blanc, 15% Carignan Blanc, 15% Roussanne
L'Égrisee brings refinement and delicious freshness without excessive exuberance, a touch of class that perhaps explains the meaning of its name, “diamond dust.” This all-occasion white is balanced yet lively with aromas of white fruit, flowers, fennel, and almond.
IGP Côtes Catalanes
35% Viognier, 35% Roussanne, 10% Grenache Gris, 10% Macabeu, 10% Carignan Blanc
This “Fireflies” cuvée lights up your glass with complex aromas of tangy citrus followed by luscious peach and apricot scents. The palate overlays aromatic flavors of wild fennel and ripe apple into a balanced silky finish with a beautiful fleshy texture. To release all the beauty, decant this white wine for an hour or so and serve well chilled.
Vin de France
100% Macabeu
This rare cuvée from 100% Macabeu old vines is exceptional. Aromas of pears and honeysuckle carry over into a wine that fills your mouth with lovely weight and texture. Dry but with luscious fruit aromas. A rare pearl!
AOP Minervois
80% Grenache, 20% Macabeu
A dry white wine of Grenache Blanc and Macabeu, rich flavors and minerality to perfection. A gastronomic wine. Jeb Dunnuck calls this 'a serious white'.
IGP Pays d’Oc
100% Vermentino
A crisp white wine with a luminous sparkle, this Vermentino bathes the palate in pears and melon with surprising hints of jasmine and grapefruit. The smooth mineral finish enlivens and refreshes. Crafted by a family domaine of passionate winemakers, this wine is a pure varietal expression of terroir.
AOP Limoux
50% Chardonnay, 50% Chenin Blanc
This blend of Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc delights gourmets and casual sippers alike. Brioche and ripe pear aromas drift into an opulent finish. The Terra Vitis certified vineyards are maintained using responsible viticulture. “La Coume Lumet” is an Occitan word meaning “Valley of Light.”
IGP Cotes Catalanes
100% Grenache Gris
This unique and delicious wine shows the elegance and finesse of the new wave in winemaking: the terracotta egg! The ovoid shape creates perpetual movement of lees, giving flavor and weight to the wine. This creates a wine with elegant apricot and peach aromas accented by wonderful minerality.
AOP Picpoul de Pinet
100% Picpoul
Picpoul is at home as a native grape at the Domaine La Croix Gratiot located near the Mediterranean shore. Night-harvesting preserves the fruity aromas and floral notes of this crisp white wine. Expect lively acidity with bright flavors of citrus and green tree fruit. The salty sea breeze produces a dry but wonderfully aromatic wine.
