Château Pépusque, located in the Minervois appellation in the Languedoc region of France, presents its 2022 "Cuvée Marco," an exceptional white wine. This cuvée is made with carefully selected regional grapes, reflecting the diverse and natural terroir of Languedoc, where the Mediterranean climate provides warm, sunny summers. The winemaking process is geared toward the pure expression of aromas, resulting in a lively yet elegant wine. The region, rich in diverse soils ranging from limestone to clay-limestone, is home to generous and authentic wines. Renowned for its commitment to tradition and quality, Château Pépusque is a respected benchmark in the local winemaking scene.

To pair this Languedoc white wine, consider dishes such as seafood, a warm goat's cheese salad, or fish in a light sauce. The fresh, fruity flavors of the "Cuvée Marco" pair perfectly with the delicate textures and light notes of these dishes.

Also opt for regional dishes such as cod brandade or bouillabaisse, which will blend harmoniously with the minerality and elegance of this wine.

When tasting, serve this wine between 10 and 12°C to appreciate all its aromatic nuances.

Decanting is generally not necessary, although gentle aeration can reveal its complexity. When tasting, observe its bright color, smell the floral and fruity aromas it releases, then savor its freshness and persistence on the palate. This wine promises an enriching experience for lovers of expressive and refined white wines.

The ninth estate in the Vignobles Jeanjean collection is located in the prestigious Pic St. Loup appellation, north of Montpellier, a name derived from the distinctive 658-meter-high mountain that dominates the region.
