Marsanne Viognier Blanc IGP d`Oc Roche de Belanne 2024

£10.95 per bottle

ABV 12%

Tasting Notes
A crisp and flavoursome white from the pebble soils of the Languedoc coast near Beziers. On the nose, white flowers, honeysuckle and stone fruits such as apricots create an evocative bouquet, which is followed through on the medium bodied palate with ripe peach and apple flavours which lead to a fresh, zesty finish.

Food
Perfect as a match for seafood salads, crab and poached salmon, green salads and chicken dishes.

Region
The department of Hérault lies to the northeast of the Aude and west of the Gard, centred on the town of Montpellier. Much of the Coteaux du Languedoc falls within this rugged warm region. The terroir on this south-facing amphitheatre is classically Mediterranean, and the landscape is dominated by garrigue-covered limestone hills and plateaus. During the growing season, the temperatures are moderated by refreshing sea breezes from the Mediterranean that sweep through the vineyards, cooling the grapes and slowing ripening. The Hérault is a successful host to the classic Bordeaux varietals as well as Chardonnay and the Rhône`s Syrah, 
Grenache and Viognier.

Producer
LGI were created in 1999 by forward thinking partners aware of the challenge and opportunity that lay ahead for regional French wines in the competitive international market. Wines are made and blended from three main sources. Saint Chinian in the Herault, Jean d`Alibert in Minervois and from Gascogny. In the heart of the Languedoc, one of the world’s largest wine regions with an array of diverse climates and terroirs allowing a range of local and international varieties to be grown. LGI have been focussed on improving their environmental impact and as of 2024 have become HVE 3 certified.
