High alt, un-oaked Chardonnay from the Languedoc, North-West of Carcassone, The grapes grow on a limestone ridge producing complex and elegant wines.
Soft on the palate with pear fruit and a honeyed character from time on lees. Minerality follows in a fresh and long finish.
Winemakers Stephanie & Olivier Ramé, a husband and wife team, are the third generation at Maison Ventenac. Their vineyards are in Cabardès, the only Languedoc appellation that allows both Atlantic and Mediterranean grape varieties. Ventenac-Cabardès is famed for its limestone, chalky soils, which they say gives their wines their saline & fresh characters.
