Minervois is best known for its superb reds, yet try this rare white. From Floris Lemstra’s top estate, it's equally captivating. Crafted from Roussanne, Vermentino, Viognier and Muscat, enjoy creamy apricot fruit with brilliant zip. Ravishing.

Château Canet is the epitome of a charming southern French wine estate and one of the Minervois’ leading domaines. Owned today by Dutch born Floris Lemstra and his wife Victoria, its 45 hectares of vines are complemented by 3 hectares of olive groves plus extensive farmland and forests. The setting is enchanting, close to Carcassonne, with uninterrupted views of the distant Alaric mountains. Floris is passionate about his wines – from working naturally in the vineyards to careful handling in the cellar. From there he produces both a red Minervois and his rare white. It’s made from creamy peach Roussanne and lemony, nutty Vermentino, with an aromatic lift of Viognier and a splash of Muscat. A most elegant white – perfect with sushi or fish.
