Domaine Les Ors Limoux

The Domaine Les Ors Limoux is a brilliant expression of how the Limoux region in the Languedoc region produces a Chardonnay worthy of Burgundy. Made from Chardonnay and Mauzac grapes, the wine is aged for 9 to 10 months in oak barrels, one-third of which are new. This careful oak aging gives the wine its characteristic richness and complexity, contributing to the subtle spicy and woody notes that are discernible in the background. With aromas of peach, nectarine, and blossoms, this wine offers an exceptionally elegant experience that combines freshness, minerality, and a pleasant richness on both the nose and palate.

Domaine Les Ors is located in one of France's oldest wine regions, between Carcassonne and the Pyrenees, in the renowned AOP Limoux. This region is known for its unique terroir, with its abundant limestone soil and milder climate due to its higher elevation, comparable to Burgundy. The soil diversity and Mediterranean climate contribute to the exceptional quality of the wines produced here. The grapes for Domaine Les Ors Limoux are carefully hand-picked, a testament to the dedication to quality and precision that characterizes this winery.
