Description
In a nutshell:
Sun-drenched stone fruit with a sprinkle of exotic lychee, that's what this vibrant, unoaked Languedoc white is all about.
The lowdown:
This Southern French beauty explodes with apricots and peaches, but there's a floral whisper of honeysuckle too. It's crafted entirely from Viognier, grown in the sunny Languedoc where the grapes ripen fully. Despite that warmth, the winemakers have kept the acidity crisp and refreshing. There's a lovely textural contrast here - juicy stone fruit, zingy freshness, and a final flourish of smooth, creamy richness. A sophisticated sip without a hefty price tag.
This is our May 'Wine of the Month' which means you get 100 bonus loyalty points with each bottle purchased throughout the month.
The Producer:
Château Fontareche embodies a quiet power within the Languedoc. This historic estate, nestled near Narbonne, speaks volumes through its 160 hectares of sustainably farmed vineyards. Here, free-draining gravel and limestone soils provide a foundation. While the climate poses challenges, the expertise of Jacques De Lamy shines. He focuses on achieving physiological ripeness in the fruit - a testament to his skill and the key to Fontareche's consistently high-quality wines. Expect a restrained elegance and a depth of flavour that reveals itself subtly with each sip.
When to drink:
Fragrant and peachy, this is a joy on its own, but truly sings with a creamy chicken dish or a fiery Thai takeaway.
