ABOUT THE WINEIn 1977 Jacques and Françoise Boyer began their project to build a top-quality wine estate on the slopes of the Cévennes, just north of Béziers in Languedoc. Existing vineyards were replanted, and the cellar underwent extensive modernisation. 110 hectares of vines planted with 16 different varieties produce a diverse range of wines offering excellent value for money at all quality levels.TASTING NOTESThe different grapes are vinified separately fermented in French oak, with 8 to 9 months barrel-ageing on the lees. Concentrated citrus fruit, pineapple and passion fruit aromas, with honey and vanilla on the palate, and nutty complexity on the finish.FOOD PAIRINGBest with fish, grilled whole with lemon and butter. Also suitable for white meats.FRIARWOOD SAYSWind is a defining characteristic of this region; the Mistral, Tramontane and Narbonnaise winds shape the vines, cooling and cleaning the grapes and creating the diurnal shifts between daytime and night-time temperatures essential for the creation of balanced, expressive wines.
