Complex rich chardonnay with the smell of toast and ripe yellow fruit. The taste is strong and elegant. Delicious with many starters with fish, but also delicious with refined pâté.

Description

Every year, the winegrowers in the southern French region of Limoux organize a gastronomic feast in which the proceeds from the wine sale benefit the restoration of the church of the organizing village. A top chef who has been awarded three Michelin stars holds sway. This event called Toques et Clochers has become a phenomenon in culinary circles.

Within the region, the wines of the different terroirs are bottled separately. The vineyards of the terroir Autan are located on the hills around the town of Limoux in the heart of the wine region. Here the climate is the warmest and driest in the area. This makes this wine the first of the four terroirs to drink. After picking, as with many great white wines, fermentation and maturation in small oak casks follows.
