This pale gold wine made from Roussanne, Viognier, Sauvignon Blanc and Ugni Blanc entices with inviting aromas of savory ripe pear, bayleaf, and creamy hazelnuts. A smooth, mouth-filling palate of citrus and oak barrique flows into a fresh finish that balances well with rich food.

Enjoy this elegant white with classic French seafood dishes such as Coquilles St. Jacques. Also pairs beautifully with shrimp ceviche and asparagus risotto.

Wine Profile
Vineyard Notes
These vineyards grow on gently sloping land at the base of the rugged Cevennes mountains. Cooling winds flow from the mountains, slowing the maturation of the grapes. The Roussanne, Ugni Blanc and Viognier parcels are at higher elevations with greater sun exposure during the day and cooler temperatures at night. The Sauvignon Blanc receives more shade, preserving the freshness and typicity of the grape. The soil is calcareous (chalky), stony clay.
Production Notes
This blend is fermented in barrels and aged sur lies (on lees) for four months with regular bâtonnage (stirring).
Winemaker Notes
Terre des 2 Sources began with two couples who shared a dream — to find the best land and wine-growing environment and to craft exceptional wines. The foursome realized their dream with an estate on high elevation just south of the Cevennes mountains with a rich diversity of soils, slopes, aquatic features and climate. Kirsten Creasy is the winemaker, and her husband Glen manages the vineyards. Kirsten has a long and successful career making wines in different places throughout the world. She is native to New Zealand and has made wines there and in Australia and France. She is surely thrilled to be part of the Languedoc Renaissance making her own wine in this special terroir.
