Bergerie de L'Hortus Blanc 2023, Domaine de l'Hortus

In the heart of the Languedoc’s Pic Saint-Loup appellation, Domaine de l’Hortus was established by Jean Orliac in the late 1970s. A keen rock climber and agricultural college graduate, Jean recognised the potential for growing quality grapes on the steep, limestone slopes of Mount Hortus. Fortunately, this land was unwanted and cheap, so Jean could purchase 50 hectares to grow vines. This is a blend of varieties and it's beautifully floral, aromatic and with bags of freshness. White peach, nectarine, orange blossom and fennel all getting involved here.
