In a world of wine choices, few can taste Mourvèdre Blanc. The 2023 Unau Percheron 184 from the vast Vin de France region speaks volumes. This wine excels with aromas and flavors of fragrant Bartlett pears, dried earth notes, and ripe Red Delicious apples. Try this with grilled mussels in a ginger and garlic sauce.

Pierre & Antonin are local winemakers who craft delicious wines from the Languedoc region of France. These naturally sparkling wines are organically farmed and made using traditional methods of winemaking. The results are all natural, dry wines made without the addition of sulfites. Crafted by Pierre Caizergues & Antonin Bonnet both from the Languedoc region of France, with artwork by Oscar Lett, UK-French artist based in Brooklyn, NY. The estate is located in the Corbieres region at the bottom slopes of the Montagne Noire. The vineyards there was planted in the mid-sixties and produce natural low-yield due to the low rainfall (35 to 45mm per year only). All wines are organically farmed since they were planted. There is also no treatment in the vineyard especially no additions of any sulfites/pesticides or insecticides. All wines are also vegan friendly.
There are hundreds of white grape varieties grown throughout the world. Some are indigenous specialties capable of producing excellent single varietal wines. Each has its own distinct viticultural characteristics, as well as aroma and flavor profiles.
A small category representing the wines that either fall outside of appellation lines or don’t subscribe to the law and traditions set forth by the French government within certain classified appellations, “Vin De France” is a catch-all that includes some of the most basic French wines as well as those of superior quality. The category includes large production, value-driven wines. It also includes some that were made with a great deal of creativity, diligence and talent by those who desire to make wine outside of governmental restrictions. These used to be called Vin de Table (table wine) but were renamed to compete with other European countries' wines of similar quality.
