AOP Corbière
70% Grenache Blanc, 15% Roussanne, 15% Vermentino
An unfined and spontaneously fermented white wine from organic and biodynamic grapes with just the right amount of fruit, Les Chemins offers aromas of apricot and quince giving it unusual depth with delicious, unique fruit flavors with a slight herbal edge. The winemaker and her family’s connections to the land and world of wine can be traced back to the 16th century.
Vin de France
100% Roussanne
This lively biodynamic wine is made from hand harvested white Roussanne grapes but vinified like a red wine-with five days of juice and skin contact. The result is a delicious and complex orange wine with mimosa, saffron, stone and yuzu flavors. It changes beautifully as it breathes and opens up. It is heavenly with Curried Chicken Salad!
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
70% Chardonnay, 30% Chenin Blanc
This Chardonnay-dominant white 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.”
AOP Saint-Chinian
40% Vermentino, 30% Roussanne, 25% Grenache Blanc, 5% Viognier
This easy-drinking, fresh white wine is one of our most popular wines. Viognier grapes impart enticing floral and fruity aromas while the White Grenache adds a pleasant acidity and long finish. This wine hails from vineyards tended with sustainable farming methods on the coveted schiste soil of the Berlou micro-appellation.
AOP Minervois
30% Roussanne, 20% Vermentino, 20% Grenache Blanc, 20% Grenache Gris, 10% Marsanne
The fine nose on this well-balanced white made from some deliciously unique grape varieties conjures stone fruits, white flowers, and acacia. The palate unfolds from bold fruit to woody substance then eases into a smokey, toasted character with a lemony finish. An organic cuvée, Villa Lucia was crafted by a family domaine in very special terroir built on four generations of winemaking wisdom.
