The wine

Mas Champart blanc is a blend of Marsanne, Roussanne, Grenache, Bourboulenc, Clairette and Viognier, from relatively young vines. Vinification is partially done in barrels of several wines (40%) and partly in vats (60%), then aging is done in vats and barrels on fine lees with some bâtonnage. A refined and complex wine is produced (white fruit, citrus and flowers), and an ample palate which is lively, mouth-watering, fresh and balanced between creaminess and acidity and blessed with fine bitters.

About the Producer Mas Champart

In 1976, Isabelle and Mathieu Champart marked their homecoming by starting to put together a small vineyard through the gradual purchase of old vines and abandoned terroirs. They produced their first own-labelled bottling in 1988: prior to that, their grapes were sent to the co-operative. They run their 25-hectare domain according to organic principles, and the great diversity of the soil in which the vines grow (limestone-clay, marl, or plain limestone soil), and the wide range of grape varieties used, enable the domain to produce wines with a strong typical character.
