The 2020 Cassagne et Vitailles Combarels Pays d'Oc Blanc is a southern French white wine produced by the acclaimed partnership of Pierre Cassagne and Xavier Braujou, founders of Cassagne et Vitailles. Based in the Terrasses du Larzac area of the Languedoc, the estate has gained recognition for crafting terroir-driven wines that combine Mediterranean character with freshness and precision.

Combarels Blanc is sourced from carefully selected vineyard parcels in the Pays d'Oc, where a combination of warm days and cooling influences helps preserve aromatic complexity and balance. The 2020 vintage delivered healthy, ripe fruit, resulting in a wine that offers both generosity and freshness.

The wine opens with aromas of citrus, white peach and pear, accompanied by notes of white flowers, fennel and subtle Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and vibrant, with bright acidity supporting a core of orchard and stone fruit. A mineral edge and gentle saline note provide structure and length, contributing to a clean, refreshing finish.

The 2020 Cassagne et Vitailles Combarels Pays d'Oc Blanc reflects the estate's philosophy of producing expressive wines that prioritise balance over excessive richness. The combination of ripe fruit, lively acidity and understated complexity makes it both approachable and versatile at the table.

This wine pairs particularly well with grilled seafood, shellfish, white fish, roast chicken, Mediterranean salads and soft goat's cheese. Its freshness and aromatic profile also make it an excellent aperitif.
