Wine

“Myth or reality? Due to its warming, mother nature tends to deprive us of balanced wines. So in response, we planted this Vermentino, which brings the tension we look for.  And also, we have to say it, because it’s so good!
A whistle-blower”

Region

Languedoc-Roussillon, is one of the largest and most diverse wine-producing regions in France. It is located in the southern part of the country, along the Mediterranean coast. It has a long history of viticulture and winemaking, and it’s known for producing a wide range of wine styles.

This region benefits from a Mediterranean climate, characterized by hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. The diverse geography includes coastal plains, rolling hills, and mountainous areas, which create a variety of microclimates and soil types.

Cabardès

Cabardès is situated in the western part of the Languedoc-Roussillon region, not far from the city of Carcassonne. The vineyards are spread across the foothills of the Montagne Noire (Black Mountain) and benefit from a variety of microclimates due to the region’s diverse geography.

“Les Dissidents”

100% Vermentino and declassified as Vin de France this is part of the limited bottled ” Les Dissidents” range. Following a number of experiments, a whole instinctive range comprised of micro-cuvees and varietal wines, prohibited by the appellation, in truly exclusive, libertarian style. What the winemaker believe to be the best varieties of the soil, this unclassified range of French wine defies the institutions, their regulations and conventional wine.

Vinification

Yield of 60 hectoliters per hectare with fermentation in stainless steel tanks at 18°C without malolactic fermentation and ageing for 3 months on fine lees.  A very pleasant Vermentino which brings its freshness, white peach, linden blossoms & tangerine. The attack is tense but with a nice sweetness in the middle of the mouth with a long finish.

Ideal serving temperature –  8°C.
