RVF

(2018 Vintage Notes)
This Languedoc white, made from Grenache and Marsanne and enhanced with a touch of Roussanne, lives up to all its promises. Well-balanced, it oscillates between fruity aromas of pear and candied citrus, delicate floral notes of honeysuckle, mild spices, and finally a crystalline finish. Generous, subtle, and elegant ! An ideal white wine for meals this summer and to pair with your grilled fish à la plancha!

About the estate:

Liz Williamson is from New Zealand, and Robin is from England. In 2004, they chose the Jurassic limestone and flint soil of the Murviel-lès-Montpellier hills—a site near Roman ruins that offers a breathtaking view of the Mediterranean—to establish their vineyard: 13 hectares farmed organically.

Rated Estate (2021 Guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)

About the estate:

Robin Williamson is English, and Liz is from New Zealand. In 2004, they found this vineyard in the Grès de Montpellier region to begin their new life as winemakers. The estate quickly earned organic certification, and the diversity of its wines—ranging from sparkling to white and red—is truly delightful! They have expanded the estate’s acreage from 6.5 hectares when they first settled here to 14 hectares today. We are delighted to welcome them here.
