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.

AOP Saint Chinian
50% Grenache Blanc, 40% Vermentino, 10% Viognier
This organic white blend is a very pale white, crystalline with straw reflections. It has an expressive and complex nose of grapefruit, vine peach, dried flowers and candied pineapple. The palate is creamy with rounded fruit, but with a nice fresh acidity.
Vin de France
100% Viognier
A crisp, mineral Viognier unlike any other, with a round, satisfying mouth feel and smooth palate, but with hints of warm spices like those of a graham cracker. Medium to full-bodied with fruit characteristics of peaches and asian pears.
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.”
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.
IGP Pays d'Oc
85% Chardonnay, 15% Viognier
Fragrant white flowers and nice acidity characterize this delicious, all-occasion white wine. The Viognier adds floral notes to the freshness of the unoaked Chardonnay, lending complexity to the mouth. The Chardonnay imparts a lovely, lingering finish. One of our favorites!
AOP Minervois
40% Vermentino, 40% Viognier, 20% Grenache Blanc
A fresh and somewhat exotic wine due to the blend and organic vineyards on deep soils of silt and sediment from the Aude River. A fresh, lively and clear white wine with aromas of lemongrass and peach. The Grenache blanc and Vermentino give lovely freshness to the wine and the Viognier brings warming exotic aromas. Serve well chilled.
IGP Pays d'Oc
100% Viognier
It's hard to find 100% Viognier from France, but this delicious wine is an excellent example of what we'd like New World wineries to do with this grape. It is round and fine, not oaky, tart, or overly floral. It has notes of honey and white peach with juicy fresh acid to keep your palate alive and wanting more.
IGP Coteaux de Fontcaude
100% Vermentino
Fresh-cut herbs and fragrant floral aromas glide into bright tones of grapefruit and lemon in this summer-ready white wine. Made with Vermentino, a classic Mediterranean varietal, the “glug glug factor” of this wine makes it hard to resist, which is why it is one of our most loved wines.
