Jean Astruc often dreamed of owning his own winery as he rattled his horse-drawn carriage through the unpaved roads of the Limoux region. In his old age, he gathered together everything he had saved and founded Domaine Astruc in 1862.
Domaine Astruc was acquired by Jean-Claude Mas in 2002 and has since become an established name among wine lovers. He runs the winery with respectful gratitude. The winery is located in Limoux, where it benefits from both Atlantic influences and the Pyrenees. Limoux is also the region where, according to modern history, the first sparkling wine in France was made. The soil consists of gravel and calcareous marl, and the grapes enjoy a cooler microclimate, resulting in fresh wines of exceptional elegance and finesse. The vineyards for this wine face south to fully enjoy the sun.
This white wine from Astruc is a blend of Grenache Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Terret, Ugni Blanc, and Vermentino. The grapes are fermented separately at a controlled temperature of sixteen degrees Celsius. This ensures that the wine retains its fruit, flavor concentration, and smoothness.
The aroma is a beautiful bouquet of citrus and white flowers, evolving into aromas of tropical fruit. The taste is refined, with a fresh mouthfeel and plenty of white and citrus fruit. On the back of the tongue, lovely nuances of passion fruit and a touch of grapefruit. For this price, a truly fantastic glass that you'll remember for a long time.
