Made from Merlot and the oldest Syrah and Cabernet Franc vines on the estate which are planted from East to West. Only the bunches growing on the South face are harvested, benefiting from maximum sunshine.

The nose reveals notes of black, brambly fruits, pepper and chocolate. The palate surprises with the quality of its silky tannins, long finish and freshness.

Limoux is a relatively new appellation (created in 2003) in the eastern part of the Aude in southern France, which applies to red and white wines. The vineyards lie around the town for which it is named, in the Pyrenean foothills to the east of Corbieres and south of Carcassonne.

The vineyards here are higher and cooler than those of any other Languedoc-Roussillon appellation, and also further from the temperature moderating influences of the Mediterranean. This leads Limoux and the surrounding area to produce a style of wine quite distinct from other appellations.

Pair with grilled meat, lamb shoulder, or hard cheeses.
