Les Voisins, Domaine Les Caizergues 2024

Vermentino backed up with Viognier is the blend in this bright Languedoc white. It’s unoaked but given a couple of months on its lees post-fermentation, which adds a bit of fullness and roundness to the body. Still nice and crisp though, with pineapple and citrus notes alongside acacia flower and apricot. And a finish that's fresh with a decent bit of weight behind it.

Pair it with grilled white fish, shellfish, or even a bit of grilled chicken with a citrus glaze to make the most of its brightness and minerality.

Domaine les Caizergues lies in the foothills of the Cévennes, about an hour north of Montpellier, and has been the passion project of British couple Pat and Bob Middleton since 2017. With just over 30 hectares of vines, they grow a range of classic Languedoc varieties, focusing on wines that truly reflect the local terroir. Their commitment to environmentally friendly practices is evident, with organic certification achieved in 2021. The Middletons' dedication to quality and sustainability shines in their wines that feel genuinely rooted in their rugged, sun-soaked corner of the Languedoc.
