The Story
Mas des Palombes is part of Domaine Reine Juliette in the Languedoc, named for the old Roman route Via Domitia – locally known as voie Reine Juliette – that runs beside the estate. Sixth- and seventh-generation growers Guillaume Alliès and family farm clay-limestone soils and keep the Chardonnay crisp and bright: destemmed fruit, pneumatic pressing and cool stainless-steel fermentation to lock in freshness.
