The Limoux wine region is at the western most point of the Languedoc and is located just south of the medieval city of Carcassonne. The Domaine de Martinolles was owned by the Vergnes family from 1926 until 2011 when the estate was sold to the native vigneron, Jean Claude Mas. The vineyards lie on the same hillsides that the monks of St. Hilaire cultivated in 1531 when they produced the world’s first sparkling wine.
The vines, which are planted in chalky soils at elevations ranging from 200 to 600 meters, are worked traditionally without herbicides or fertilizers. Domaine de Martinolles is a member of Terra Vitis, an organization that certifies the practice of sustainable agriculture.
Tasting Notes:
Showing a light pale gold color, this is a medium-bodied. un-oaked Chardonnay with seductive aromas of tropical fruits blended with notes of honey, acacia and orange peel. Pair with your favorite lobster or shrimp dish.
