Domaine Jean-Baptiste Senat : Aux Amis de ma Soeur 2024

Characteristics and Tasting Notes for the "Aux Amis de ma Soeur" 2024 Domaine Jean-Baptiste Senat

Tasting

Colour
The colour reveals a delicate pale golden hue, reflecting a light skin maceration during its production.

Nose
The nose unveils an aromatic bouquet dominated by white-fleshed fruits such as peach, pear and melon. With aeration, subtle citrus notes, delicate floral touches and a mineral dimension enrich this expression with exotic accents.

Palate
On the palate, this white wine from France offers a fine balance between richness and vibrancy. Its round texture is accompanied by a mineral salinity and crisp acidity that bring great freshness and remarkable drinkability. The finish, of moderate length, closes on pleasant notes reminiscent of garrigue.

Food and Wine Pairing

Ideal as an aperitif, this wine also pairs beautifully with seafood, delicate white fish or light poultry. It goes perfectly with Asian-inspired dishes flavoured with ginger and lemongrass, as well as grilled vegetables or fresh herb salads.

Service and Storage

The "Aux Amis de ma Soeur" 2024 has fine ageing potential. While it can be enjoyed young for its vibrant freshness, extended cellaring will allow it to develop additional complexity and further express its mineral profile.

Other Characteristics

This wine has an alcohol content of approximately 13%. Produced using a natural approach, it is neither fined nor filtered, which may result in a slight haze or natural sediment in the bottle.

The Authentic Expression of a Great White Wine from the Languedoc by Domaine Jean-Baptiste Senat

The Estate

Founded in 1995, Domaine Jean-Baptiste Senat spans around fifteen hectares in the Languedoc. Now run by Jean-Baptiste and Charlotte Senat, this family estate stands out for its deep commitment to organic farming, certified since 2004, and a natural approach to viticulture. Located on the foothills of the Montagne Noire, the estate is renowned for its artisanal production, which favours an authentic expression of terroir. The owners continue to practise minimal-intervention methods, establishing their vineyard as a key reference for lovers of natural wine in the south of France.

The Vineyard

The vines flourish across the communes of Trausse and La Livinière, benefiting from a Mediterranean climate tempered by cool winds from the Montagne Noire. The soils consist of a mosaic of clay-limestone and rolled pebble terraces. Cultivated without synthetic chemicals, the vineyard is home to old vines trained in the gobelet method, some of which reach forty years of age for the white varieties. Yields are deliberately kept low, and harvesting is carried out by hand to ensure optimal quality for this wine classified as IGP Aude.

The Vintage

Mediterranean climatic conditions, marked by hot, dry summers and mild winters, favoured a natural concentration in the berries. The growing cycle allowed the grapes to reach ideal physiological ripeness while retaining fine acidity, resulting in a hand harvest that concluded at the end of March 2025.

Winemaking and Ageing

The making of the "Aux Amis de ma Soeur" 2024 is based on a minimalist philosophy in the cellar. Fermentation begins spontaneously through indigenous yeasts, with rigorous temperature control to preserve aromatic freshness. A moderate skin maceration is applied to add complexity. The wine is made without any fining or filtration, favouring purity of fruit and expression of terroir.
