Region

The Languedoc is a vast region stretching across much of the south and Mediterranean and is France`s single largest vineyard entity for its Vins de Pays wines. Within the Languedoc lie several distinctly identified Vins de Pays (including the l`Aude, Gard and Hérault) and many generic appellations that maintain traditional local blends and wine styles such as Minervois, Corbières, Pic Saint Loup and Fitou.

Producer

Maison Maurel Vedeau was created from the partnership of two experienced viticulturists and winemakers, Stephane Vedeau and Alain Maurel. Now under the ownership of Bonfils, the winemaking expertise and skilled viticultural disipline is maintained from the winery and estate vineyards at La Baume. The range of varietal and generic Languedoc wines are immaculate; immediately flattering yet true to their terroir.

Tasting (Long)

La Vigneau is sourced from mature Chardonnay vines near Narbonne planted in mineral rich soils and cooled by an oceanic micro-climate for this elegant Languedoc white. It has a lovely freshness, creamy texture and aromas that evoke intense floral notes, citrus peel, vanilla, tangerine and honey. The palate is fresh with characteristic flavours of melon, apple, and honey and deliciously well balanced.

Tasting (Short)
