Production
Cave de l'Ormarine's vineyards lie at approximately 40 metres above sea level on a chalky clay plateau, rich in Cretaceous limestone and quartz. The vineyards lie to the North of the Lac de Thau and slope towards it. Cyril Payon oversees the production and grapes are carefully selected and picked at different times to capture different flavour profiles. They are de-stemmed and macerated on their skins followed by fermentation for approximately 2 weeks without malolactic fermentation.
Tasting notes
Fresh citrus and soft stone fruit on the nose. Ripe citrus and a lovely savoury quality with delciously fresh acidity and a lick of salinity which make it highly moreish.
Food match
Perfect on its own or with oysters, mussels, and grilled fish.
