Montsablé Réserve represents the pinnacle of site selection within the Haute Vallée de l’Aude, the coolest of all the Mediterranean regions of France due to altitude and influence of the cool Atlantic wind, the Vent Cers. Altitude, climate and limestone rich soils combine to produce outstanding fruit, with which we create wines of elegance and freshness.

Burgundian methods are used for the vinification with a gentle extraction by punch-down of the cap. Low temperature vatting (24°C) to preserve the fragile and subtle notes of the Pinot Noir. The wine is barrel aged in a selection of barrels (aged for 6 months in French new oak, 1, 2 and 3 yr old) before blending to produce a Pinot Noir of class, texture and weight.

Aromas of dark cherry and blackberry plus a rich, round palate of red berry fruit are complemented by toasty, vanilla notes that bring a touch of spice to the finish.

Description

About Montsable

The wines of Montsablé are inspired by the desire to craft elegant Burgundian varietals from Southern France. Working with growers in the cooler, lower vigour, sites of the St Chinian area of Languedoc, seeking out fruit which delivers pure flavours & great balance.

The Haute Vallée Limoux may be close to the wilds of the mighty Pyrénées but the cooler climate and limestone rich soils are the perfect host to classic noble varietals. With a tip of a hat to our Burgundian cousins, we craft fresh, elegant and complex wines.

In the winery, the fruit is handled carefully to build texture & mouthfeel, with oak only ever used to add just the subtlest of seasoning. The result is a Chardonnay with great palate weight, bright fruit & texture, while the Pinot Noir positively sings with lifted cherry & wild strawberry fruit.
