The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.

The latest wine from one of the finest wineries in the South of France. For eight generations, Laurent Miquel has been crafting the most spectacular wines from Languedoc-Roussillon. Founded in 1791, this winery is a true pioneer in a wine region that, until 25 years ago, was considered relatively unsophisticated. Until the turn of the century, Languedoc-Roussillon was primarily a mass-produced wine. Fortunately, the tide has turned, thanks in part to Laurent Miquel. With this latest wine, the Laurent Miquel Lieu Dit La Croix Lagrasse Chardonnay, they once again prove that they belong to the absolute pinnacle of French winemaking.

The latest sensation from the magnificent Laurent Miquel originates from the vineyards of the Languedoc region. Beautiful Chardonnay grapes have been planted on a mix of limestone and clay. These grapes are among the finest in Laurent Miquel's vast range. As soon as the grapes are deemed ripe enough, the harvest begins. This takes place at night to maintain freshness and prevent oxidation in the heat often experienced in the South of France. Fermentation takes place in a mix of old and new barrels. Laurent Miquel Lieu Dit La Croix Lagrasse Chardonnay is then aged on its own lees for a full 12 months. This gives this Laurent Miquel white wine considerable depth and complexity.

Give Laurent Miquel Lieu Dit La Croix Lagrasse Chardonnay a generous swirl in your glass before taking a sip. A powerful yet fresh palate crashes over your taste buds like a tsunami. This wine truly captivates you. Fresh fruit notes balance with oak, toast, and minerality. A big thumbs up for Laurent Miquel Lieu Dit La Croix Lagrasse Chardonnay.
