(2017 Vintage Notes)

Cazaban has crafted a subtle white wine in a region dominated by reds, with this blend of White Grenache, Marsanne, Roussanne, and Vermentino. It has a clean attack and a fresh, very pleasant palate. A unique wine to enjoy as an aperitif!

About the estate:

Emmanuel Taillez is now the sole owner and manager of the estate. The vineyards are cultivated using biodynamic methods (certified in 2013), supplemented by a portion of purchased grapes. Benefiting from high-quality aging, these meticulously crafted wines develop a beautiful diversity of flavors: they are the most lively and refined cuvées of the appellation. We also note that the estate offers lovely guest rooms.
