Bu N`Daw La Grange de Quatre Sous

An unusual Languedoc white made with native Swiss grape, Petite Arvine

Hildegard Horat originates from Switzerland where she used to work as a restorer to old monuments. She first visited Languedoc during the seventies and fell in love with the domaine, La Grange de Quatre Sous, located on a limestone plateau above Assignan in the Montagne Noire.

The place was almost abandoned, and a lot of work needed to be done. After renovating the buildings, she replanted the vineyards in 1983 – choosing to work with grape varieties outside the AOC. Most notably, the unique and extremely rare Petite Arvine – arguably Switzerland’s finest variety.

Made from 100% Petite Arvine, this wine has an attractive pale gold colour with a floral hint on the nose. The palate has ripe citrus fruit and a saline kick on the finish.
