Terroir:
This cuvée is a balance between two terroirs : • The first located in the immediate vicinity of the Château de Gaure, on the east end of the appellation, is at mid-altitude at about 300m. The soil here is of clay and limestone and enjoys a strong Mediterranean influence with a warm temperate climate and sea winds. • The second is situated at the foothills of the Pyrenees in Campagne sur Aude at the west extremity of the DPO. This terroir is also at mid-altitude with vineyards located at 300m and above with deep clay soils and colder temperatures.

Recommended
This wine has been tasted and highlighted.
"Highly aromatic with notes of jasmin and honey. This is a quite powerful wine but I enjoy it on its own even though it pairs perfectly with chicken and white meat."
