2020 vintage. This estate produces good reds, but I have a penchant for the much rarer white. Rousanne (50%), Grenache Blanc (20%), Clairette (20%) and Bourboulenc (10%), planted on the calcareous soils in the west part of the estate. Intense perfume of pineapple and flowers with a distinctive minerality. Round mouthfeel with bright exotic fruit, spiciness and a long mineral finish. Very good indeed. Abv. 14%.

2016 vintage. Hard to go wrong with the 2016 vintage, and this is no exception. Intense perfume of pineapple and fresh Provencal herbs.
Long minty fish.
