Château La Negly L’Ecume Blanc 2021

Château La Négly L’Ecume Blanc is a refreshing and aromatic white wine from the Languedoc region of southern France. Made from a blend of Bourboulenc, Roussanne, and Marsanne, this wine captures the essence of Mediterranean vineyards with its vibrant fruit, floral notes, and saline minerality. On the nose, it offers aromas of citrus fruits, white peaches, and wildflowers, with a subtle hint of sea breeze. On the palate, it is crisp and lively, with flavors of lemon zest, green apple, and a touch of apricot, balanced by a bright acidity and a saline, mineral-driven finish.
