Domaine Clovallon, Les Aurièges - White

Presentation of Domaine Clovallon, Les Aurièges - White

The Aurièges vintage from Domaine Clovallon is an astonishing organic wine from Languedoc. The estate innovates and offers us a unique blend: Riesling 65%, Clairette 15%, Viognier 10%, Petit Manseng and Petite Arvine 10%. The wine has a beautiful bright orange color. On the nose, it is very fine, with notes of orange fruits (orange and clementine peels). On the palate we appreciate a full and airy taste. The Aurièges wine is well balanced with a slightly tannic finish with citrus notes. If you like to discover wines that are off the beaten track, you will like this atypical orange-white.

HISTORY OF THE ESTATE

It extends over ten hectares, located near the mountains, which temper the heat and summer and the cool nights preserve the taste and balance of the grapes.
