Anne de Joyeuse
Anne de Joyeuse operates in Limoux, the southernmost appellation of Languedoc-Roussillon, where cool Atlantic influences shape the terroir and favor crisp, mineral-driven whites. The winery's Very Limoux Chardonnay demonstrates the region's aptitude for the variety, while Château de Brasse Blanc—a blend of Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay—captures the tension between richness and acidity that defines the area. The red program, represented by Château de Brasse Rouge, draws on Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah to express the warmer aspects of the southern Languedoc climate. Both Decanter and Wine Spectator have rated the portfolio, anchoring the winery's output within broader critical discourse on the region's potential.
