Mas du Novi Chardonnay 2023
Mas du Novi — the vineyard of Saint-Jean-du-Noviciat — is an exceptional organic estate in Montagnac, embedded in the Languedoc landscape just west of Montpellier. Its history can be traced back to the era of the Cathars and Crusaders, and the land was once part of a vast Cistercian abbey. The Chardonnay is a multiple award-winner — several times a gold medal winner of the Chardonnay du Monde — and is aged in oak for 12 months to develop complexity and texture.
About This Wine
One of the jewels of IGP Oc Chardonnay — a rich, elegant, oak-aged white from organic vineyards in the Languedoc. Full-bodied and textured, with the warmth of the south balanced by real finesse and a beautiful edge of oak. A serious white wine at an accessible price.
