Lionel Osmin & Cie, Le Conservatoire Mauzac 2023 White

Lionel Osmin & Cie Le Conservatoire Mauzac 2023 is a distinctive white wine made from 100% Mauzac, a historic grape variety of southwestern France. Created as part of the producer’s mission to preserve rare local varieties, it combines refreshing acidity, fine aromatics and subtle mineral complexity with impressive versatility at the table.

Tasting Notes
The wine has a clear, pale-yellow colour with delicate golden highlights. Its refined nose opens with aromas of juicy apple and quince, followed by hints of linden blossom and subtle citrus. On the palate, it is rounded and generous, showing ripe white fruit balanced by lively acidity and a precise mineral character. The finish is long, elegant and refreshing, making the wine both immediately accessible and more complex than its easy-drinking style first suggests. This Mauzac is best enjoyed in its youth, when its fresh fruit and floral character are at their most expressive, but its structure and acidity should allow it to develop gracefully over the next few years when well stored.

Production
The Mauzac grapes are grown on limestone- and clay-rich soils in the Tarn Valley, where the terroir contributes freshness, tension and characteristic minerality. The fruit is harvested with care to preserve its aromatic clarity and natural acidity. Vinified to highlight the grape’s individual character, the wine combines ripe fruit expression with a clean, balanced and elegantly mineral finish.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled at approximately 8–10°C. It is an excellent match for poultry, veal and pork, as well as fish served with a creamy sauce. Its freshness also works beautifully with mature hard cheeses, while its elegant aromatic profile makes it a versatile aperitif wine. Decanting is not necessary; simply open shortly before serving or pour into a suitable white-wine glass to allow the aromas to unfold.
