WINE DESCRIPTION

Ermitage du Pic Saint Loup Cuvée Sainte Agnès Blanc is a rich, textural white wine produced in the Cru du Languedoc of Pic Saint Loup in the South of France. The wine is made from a blend of Grenache, Clairette, Marsanne and Roussanne. In the warm Mediterranean climate of the Languedoc, these grapes achieve their peak aromatic maturity to create an expressive, fruity wine. The winemaking process involves fermentation and aging in large neutral oak barrels for around 10 months prior to bottling.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Ermitage du Pic Saint Loup Cuvée Sainte Agnès Blanc has a medium golden texture.The nose reveals an elegant and complex array of aromas of apricot, white peach, and honeysuckle. On the palate, it has a creamy texture with notes of citrus and mineral. The wine is medium-bodied with an oily texture and sufficient acidity to offset the opulent stone fruit. The finish is fresh and lingering with a hint of almond.

ORIGINS

Winery: Ermitage du Pic Saint Loup

Region: Languedoc-Roussillon

Languedoc-Roussillon is an expansive wine region in the south of France stretching from Nîmes and Montpellier east along the Mediterranean coast and inland to the Spanish border. It is the largest wine-producing region in the country, with a long and rich history of winemaking. The Languedoc-Roussillon region has been producing wine since the Roman Empire. It was the first region in France to produce sparkling wines, and it has been a major producer of fortified wines since the Middle Ages. In the 19th century, the region was known for its sweet wines, but in the 20th century, it began to focus on producing dry wines.
