2022 Château La Négly La Falaise blanc

Château la Négly is located in the Languedoc, on the banks of the Étang de Pissévache on the foothills of the La Clape Massif. Négly is owned by the Paux-Rosset family, and daughter Marion makes the wine, assisted by oenologist Claude Gros. The great diversity of soils, height difference and location (up to ten meters from the tide's edge!) ensures a great variety in style and strength, but there is one characteristic that unites all wines: great precision and a strong degree of minerality. The quality of Négly has not gone unnoticed by Parker: he has repeatedly given high ratings (up to 99 points) to various Négly wines!

The La Négly is a Chardonnay with a hint of Marsanne from a vineyard in the famous La Clape area. The immediate proximity to the sea and the granite terroir makes the La Falaise Blanc an unprecedentedly beautiful and elegant glass of wine. The wine has matured for 10 months in (partly new) French oak barriques. The wine has a deep, golden yellow color. The nose is a nice combination of the scent of yellow fruit, lycei and nuts (almond and pistachio). The taste is powerful, with clearly present wood notes and a creamy aftertaste.
