Well-known winery in the Languedoc

Dry juicy white wine from France with the scent of yellow fruit and a full, balanced taste. Delicious as an aperitif but also delicious with starters and not overly seasoned fish.

For optimal complexity and balance, the duo Delaunay and Chevillot select grapes from four different areas. The high Cevennes, the plain of the Hérault, the hills in the Aude and the foothills of the Pyrenees (Limoux) provide freshness, roundness, fruit and structure respectively.

A third of the harvest ferments and matures in small oak barrels. The result is a seductive style of chardonnay that leaves the competition far behind.

House wines of the highest quality

The white and red wines of La Cour des Dames are selected and assembled by Laurent Delaunay, a versatile winemaker originally from Burgundy. The objectives for these house wines are accessibility, typicity and balance. With astonishing results: beautiful wines for a competitive price.

Since 2013, Laurent has been working with the Flemish Hilde Chevillot, who studied oenology in France. Her first harvest (2013) immediately hit the mark and produces more than remarkable quality in this price range.

Interesting detail: the name La Tour des Dames was changed to La Cour des Dames from the 2014 harvest because the famous Château Latour in Bordeaux (!) objected to the use of the old name.
