Organic white wine of Languedoc – The Folie

Description

Enclos de la Croix – The Folie – Organic Red Wine of Languedoc – 100% Small Manseng

The enclos de la Croix is located in the heart of “la petite Camargue” between “l’Etang de l’Or” and the Cévennes mountains in the village of Lansargues. Traditionally a wine-growing village. The Vineyards’ personal background lives up to the history of its region. Built on a 24 Hectare parcel and surrounded by a charming low stone wall, the benevolent cross looks after the property. Between northern and southern winds (“Tramontane” and “Mistral”), we cultivate the vine on limestone clay soils where we prouve to be consistant in containing the energy of the stem to make a fine organic white wine.

Manual harvest of overripe Petit Manseng. Long and smooth pressing to extract a maximum of sweetness in the juice. Then fermentation in vat.

Wine Tasting

A very complex nose with a mix of white flowers, apple, and quince aromas. The mouth is surprising as it is very well balanced. Built on a sweet profile, it is fresh and lively which lowers the sweetness perception. We taste a wide range of fruit, flower and honey aromas.

It will match well with Foie Gras, chocolate dessert or even soft cheese and “Apéritif”.
