TASTING NOTES

80% Mauzac, 20% Chardonnay. Mauzac gives body and aroma. Chardonnay reinforces the bouquet, the freshness and the finesse. The result is a dry, creamy-textured, full-bodied wine with a fine yeasty character present in the aroma. Subtly fruity with toasty green apple and lemon flavors. Tastes very clean yet with a long full finish.

Alcohol 11.5%

WINEMAKING

Since they first started cultivating vines, the growers of Limoux have aimed at maintaining the originality of the Blanquette de Limoux growth and developing its quality. The region's surrounding hills protect it from the extremes of the Mediterranean and Atlantic climates, with the area enjoying a microclimate particularly suitable for making quality white wine. The vines classified in the appellation are always planted at the top of southern-facing slopes, giving the best exposure. The soil here is shallow and sparse, full of chalk and stone. The surface area of the vineyards is restricted by quota, the yield is limited, and the grapes are picked manually only, in sections, at the ideal stage of ripening.

These wines represent the true life, sweat, blood and spirit of our founder: Veronique Raskin, a true trailblazer for the organic movement. Having grown up playing in her family's property and vineyard, Chateau Bousquette, Veronique was inculcated into the culture of wine since she was a young girl.

Later, her grandfather Pierre Fabre would switch the family vineyard's to 100% organic practices and ultimately pass the gauntlet on to Veronique, who began The Organic Wine Company by importing these very wines into the United States some three decades ago. Not only are these wines certified organically grown and wonderful but they have the character of a family history and pride behind them.

Note: The Chateau Bousquette Tradition is typical of French wines in that it needs to breathe and will open up well in about 30 to 45 minutes. Decant before serving at least 30 minutes before enjoying for the fullest expression of the subtle flavors.
