La Naissance de Venus Mauzac 2006 WHITE France

For five centuries the Mauzac grape has provided mouthwatering refreshment to the people of Limoux an elevated little wine town in the Pyrenees foothills. Now you can share in their secret with this fabulous release! It's made from the fruit of ancient Mauzac vines which cling to steep slopes above Limoux. Low yields intense sunshine and cool breezes make for ripe pristine grapes. And every vintage local expert Alain Gayda selectsthe cream of the crop for his Sieur d'Arques cellar (highly rated by wine guru Robert Parker and next door to the Rothschilds' Baron d'Arques). Seductively aromatic with white peach pear and green apple. Old-vine fruit makes for great depth of lime lemon and melon flavours complemented by subtle minerally notes. The quintessential aperitif and glorious with seafood.
