Introduction
The 2022 Domaine Le Clos Rouge "Blaca" Languedoc Blanc is an expressive white blend from the Languedoc AOP, crafted with precision to showcase the region’s distinctive terroir. Known for its fresh minerality, ripe orchard fruit, and herbal complexity, this wine embodies the Mediterranean climate and limestone soils of southern France.

Terrior
The Languedoc region’s warm Mediterranean climate, with ample sunshine and cooling sea breezes, promotes balanced ripening. The limestone-rich soils impart a unique minerality, while the influence of the nearby Garrigue vegetation adds subtle herbal notes, creating a wine that is both complex and vibrant.

Appearance
Pale straw with hints of green, clear and bright. The wine displays good viscosity, suggesting a rich mouthfeel to come.

Nose
Aromas of ripe pear, white peach, and green apple are complemented by delicate notes of honeysuckle, wild herbs, and a hint of sea spray. Subtle undertones of wet stone and fresh lemon zest contribute to its complexity.

Palate
The wine is medium-bodied with a lively acidity that adds freshness to the ripe fruit flavors of peach, melon, and citrus. A mineral core of chalk and saline gives depth, while herbal nuances of thyme and rosemary weave through the profile. The balance between fruit and minerality is well-executed, providing a harmonious mouthfeel.

Finish
Crisp and lingering, with a final echo of citrus zest and stony minerality. The herbal and saline notes persist, leaving a refreshing impression on the palate.

Overall Impression
The 2022 Domaine Le Clos Rouge "Blaca" is an elegant and versatile white wine that captures the essence of Languedoc’s terroir. It’s a wine of precision and balance, ideal for pairing with Mediterranean cuisine or enjoyed on its own.
