Vionier, Chardonnay Pays D’Hérault Igp – Faune – Mas de Daumas Gassac
Vinification: Situated in the heart of Languedoc, this wine is crafted from 100% Merlot grapes, cultivated in limestone soils dating back to the Cretaceous period, enriched with bauxite. The vinification process is traditional, involving complete destemming and a brief fermentation of three to six days in vats, without any filtration. Aged for five to six months in stainless steel tanks, it showcases the region’s unique terroir with a modest yield of 60 to 70 hectolitres per hectare.
Tasting Note: It showcases a lovely pale gold hue with hints of light green reflections. Its powerful nose bursts with enticing aromas of apricots, pears, and white flowers. On the palate, it strikes a harmonious balance, revealing delicate floral nuances. The finish is full and smooth yet refreshingly vibrant, underscored by a touch of exotic fruit. The velvety texture and rich, aromatic profile reflect the mineral qualities of the limestone terroir from which it originates, enhancing its overall complexity.
