Figure Libre Freestyle has created a range of daring wines that challenge conventional codes in a bid to break new ground in Languedoc and Roussillon. Far from the rules of the appellation, she allows herself complete freedom in her choice of grape varieties. Figure Libre Freestyle is the audacity of blending grape varieties that should never have met in the same bottle.
A brilliant, clear, pale yellow colour with silver highlights. The nose is discreet and fresh, opening with aromas of white fruit, particularly white peach, accompanied by hints of citrus. On the palate, the attack is tangy and incisive, followed by a lovely roundness that unfolds gently and deliciously. The wine reveals all its richness and depth. The finish, marked with flavours of lime zest and a touch of iodine, prolongs the tasting experience on a fresh, elegant note.
