Presentation
Presentation
Late ripening Mediterranean grapes, Grenache Blanc and Colombard are perfectly adapted to the sunny climate and warm, poor soils of the Languedoc region. The grapes hail from calcareous clay terroirs that are in abundance at Alice's vineyards.
Location
An immense amphitheatre facing the sea, the Languedoc-Roussillon is a multifaceted region, shaped by coastal zones, mountains, crests and higher-altitude terroirs. Between the Pyrenees to the south-west, the Cévennes to the north-east, the Montagne Noire to the north-west and the Mediterranean coast to the south.

Tasting
Lifted notes of citrus are the key words to describe the nose and flavor of this extremely aromatic white blend offering notes of honeysuckle and honeydew. Alice shows how good a white southern blend can be in a completely zesty and dry version. The herby lemon aromas are filled out on the palate with grapefruit, a hint of pineapple and orange peel.
Food pairings
Reach for this wine with salads especially if they contain seafood and/or “grassy” ingredients such
as asparagus, pea-shoots, green peppers and herbs. Seafood with south-east Asian flavors such as lime, chili ad coriander or Thai fish cakes. Try it with pea soups and dishes accompanied by pea purées too.
