LAROCHE CHARDONNAY TERRET

Crystal clear. Delicate, precise and full of fruit Beautiful structure with refreshing acidity.

The Languedoc is not only France’s oldest vinyards but also the
largest wine-producing region in the world. The surface covers
300km, which is 3 times the size of Bordeaux and more than 4
times the surface covered by Australian vineyards.
Climatic influence and relief play an important role in the South
of France and determine the style of the wines. Whilst the
majority of the region is classified as Mediterranean, the region
of Carcassonne is influenced by the Atlantic and the vineyards
near limoux are particularly prone to spring frosts due to
proximity of the Pyrenees.

After a pretty hot summer, ensuring early fruit maturation most of the
grapes were picked before the heavy September rainfall. Excellent
sanitary and ripening conditions brought good fruit, finesse and wellbalanced
wines.
