Owning & Enjoying

Tasting notes
A refreshing aroma reminiscent of white flowers and hawthorn.
The palate is fresh and lively with acidity, and delicate bubbles enhance the minerality.
The aromatic composition is a harmonious blend of fruitiness and botanical nuances, with sweet white fruit flavors such as pear and white plum, and floral notes that linger on the palate.

Pairing
Scallop carpaccio with yuzu vinaigrette
Steamed chicken breast with truffle salt and white wine sauce
White peach and ricotta cheese salad with mint flavor

Production

Cultivation
The grapes are grown in their own vineyards, located at an altitude of 350m on clay-limestone soil, and are all hand-picked. The yield is limited to approximately 40hL/ha.

Winemaking
After harvesting, the grapes are pressed directly and only the first squeezed juice is used.
After that, the wine is clarified by cooling at low temperatures, and then fermented at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks and barrels.
The secondary fermentation in the bottle is carried out according to traditional methods, using homemade yeast derived from wine.
No dosage is used.
After bottling, the wine is aged for a minimum of 24 months in Sur Lattes, then disgorged (removed from the lees) before being released.

About the Winery

Château Marco

"There's not much in the Haute Vallée de l'Aude, apart from its magnificent natural surroundings. No industry, no urban development, apart from the memory of Catharism. It was in this unspoilt land that I planted my first vineyard, in 1983, on a rugged hillside at an altitude of 400 metres," explains Marc Leseney, when we meet at the Millésime Bio 2023 trade fair.
