The chimera, or chimere, is a mythical creature made of four different animals combined and Mas des Chimeres Blanc is fantastic wine composed of six different varietals. The land in Salagou, where the grapes are grown, also has an element of the hybrid and fantastical. It’s a sci-fi-worthy landscape of iron-rich red soil interspersed with volcanic basalt rock, earning it comparisons to the desert planet Tattooine in Star Wars. Mas de Chimeres’ Guilhem Dardé organically farms grapes in this otherworldly environment, crafting a rich and generous wine with melon, pear, and tropical fruit notes, glints of mineral and citrus, and a kiss of oak-inflected vanilla and honey.
Certified organic. Blend of terret, viognier, chardonnay, grenache blanc, carignan blanc, and roussane. 10 months on the lees. Octon, Salagou, Pays D’Herault, Languedoc, France.
