Presentation
Terroir
Côtes de Provence Appellation d'Origine Protégée complemented by the Dénomination Géographique Complémentaire Sainte-Victoire.
The vines grow on very stony limestone and clay-sandstone hillsides. The vineyard enjoys a sunny Mediterranean climate, with continental nuances due to the absence of any maritime influences which are blocked by the local mountain chains. This terroir differs from the rest of the appellation in that it receives less rain and is subject to significant temperature variations and a stronger Mistral wind. This coolness causes the grapes to ripen more slowly, resulting in wines with an excellent structure.

Advice
Tasting
Freshness and finesse.
A very pale, almost rose petal-coloured pink hue with a few greyish highlights and a lovely clear, bright appearance with peony tints. The nose is clean, inviting and immediately citrusy with scents of pomelo and pink grapefruit, followed by redcurrants and white cherries as well as floral scents reminiscent of hawthorn and honeysuckle. After aeration, this lively, elegant nose is enriched by a touch of aromatic herbs and takes on a mineral dimension. The wine is fine and distinguished with a lovely plumpness and floral and citrus scents on entry to the palate. As it evolves, it reveals a delicate, fine body with a pleasant amount of fat and a constantly lively character. The whole is delicate, showing good volume combined with a well-honed freshness and an intense aromatic expression. The finish is invigorating with citrus fruit interwoven with spice.
