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.

The specific Haute Vallée sites are perfect for Chardonnay due to slower ripening and better levels of acidity. The vines are 20-30 years old and grow on Argilo Calcaires soils.

The wine is left on its lees to add complexity of flavour, texture and weight whilst retaining refreshing ripe fruit character. Critically, 30% of the wine is aged in French wood for 6 months adding further creamy complexity.

The floral aromas and white peach flavours are complemented by vanilla, toasty notes, a lovely creamy texture and mineral tones through to a classy finish.

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.
