Alignan du Vent is one of the most impressive cooperative wineries in the CĂ´tes de Thongue. Their wines perfectly demonstrate Languedoc Roussillon's drive towards higher quality and a more international style over recent years. Their Chardonnay is ripe and round with creamy, peach fruit and spicy, vanilla notes.
"Easy drinking, benchmark Chardonnay from small, modern winemaking group flying the flag for the CĂ´tes de Thongue."
France’s ancient Languedoc-Roussillon wine region is also its most dynamic. Sweeping from Provence to the Spanish border, the Languedoc-Roussillon features craggy mountains, rolling hills, salt flats, and broad plains, harbouring vineyard sites and soils of unrivalled diversity. Warm, dry conditions, cooling Mediterranean breezes, and luminous sunshine give intensely-flavoured grapes. If this weren’t enough, cheap land has attracted a new generation of winemakers, bringing investment, expertise and a new appreciation of the Languedoc-Roussillon’s unique terroir.
