/ 750ml

A unique wine with a complex nose of white flowers, slightly toasted with cereal notes.  The palate is lively and full of floral flavors, white flesh, and citrus fruits.  The finish is long, fresh, with a hint of salinity.  The wine matured in barrels to give a full and round side in the mouth with a fruity note of quince.

This wine is fabulous with oysters gratinée; reblochon fondue; red mullet with tapenade; or rosemary grilled chicken.

Wine Profile
Vineyard Notes
The chalky limestone vineyards of Château Pech Redon sit 200 meters above the Mediterranean sea on diverse soils of limestone, marl, and reddish sandstone. The domaine’s yield is moderate due to the ecological choices of the winegrower. Grapes are manually harvested in crates and destemmed and sorted in the vineyard. In 2015, La Clape was classified as an AOP. It is designated as 1 of only 6 "Crus du Languedoc,” the highest quality category. In the Occitan language spoken in the Languedoc in the Middle Ages, La Clape means "cairn,” a mound of stones. In ancient times, La Clape was an island off the Roman port of Narbo (Narbonne) on the Mediterranean coast.
Production Notes
Slow pressed in whole bunches, cold settling after 48 hours, fermentation in 500L barrels, aged 12 months in casks.
Winemaker Notes
The estate was created at the beginning of the 20th century, but in 1988 the Bousquet family fell in love and took over. Winemaker Christophe Bousquet strives to create authentic Languedoc wines reflecting the unique grape varieties and terroir of the region.
Food Pairing Notes
This wine is fabulous with oysters gratinée; reblochon fondue; red mullet with tapenade; or rosemary grilled chicken.
Other Notes
