Style and tasting notes:
Pale and luminous, with aromas of white flowers, citrus, and stone fruits. The palate is crisp and elegant, offering flavors of peach, pear, and subtle minerality, finishing clean and refreshing.
Trivia:
Château l’Hospitalet’s white wines are highly regarded for their ability to age gracefully while retaining their fresh, vibrant character — a signature of La Clape whites.
