“What balance!”
White Grenache, Rolle, and Clairette in equal proportions to achieve a magnificent balance. A concentrated, refined, and elegant nose with hints of wood, candied fruit (pear, lemon, peach, melon), yellow flowers, herbs, and spices (mocha, coffee, vanilla). On the palate, it is complex, full-bodied, and structured with mineral notes, featuring fresh lemon and peach flavors, and a long, salty finish.

About the estate:
Carpe Diem, the famous Latin phrase, means “Seize the day without worrying about tomorrow.” A motto taken to heart by Albéric Philippon, who took over the estate in 2013. Located on the clay-limestone soils of Cotignac, the estate now spans 30 hectares. Visitors to the region can find the winemaker and his wines every Tuesday at the Cotignac market.

In 2013, Albéric Philipon took over the estate from a family of winemakers who were retiring. The vineyard is located in Cotignac, in the heart of Provence Verte, and covers 18 hectares. In addition to these, there are 12 hectares located in a neighboring village, which the family has been leasing since 2017. All of the cultivated vines are grown using organic farming methods.
