A fresh, light wine produced at this lovely estate in La Londe-les-Maures, right by the sea. This crystal-clear rosé reveals a lovely bouquet of exotic fruits, citrus, and white flowers on the nose. A perfect wine for an aperitif, characterized by a lovely briny freshness!

Rated estate (2021 guide): 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable vintage, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

Located just 900 meters from the sea, this family-owned estate of nearly 80 hectares sold its entire production in bulk until Yannick Burles joined as technical director in 2012. Most of the production is now bottled on the estate; exceptional vintages are being produced, and year after year the wines are improving admirably. The vineyards are being carefully restructured, which bodes well for the future of this rising star of the La Londe appellation, which is now contributing to the vibrancy of the wines from this town with undeniable potential. The current team is making these wines truly shine.

Guide Hachette des vins

Rated estate (2020 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the estate:

This vineyard, whose existence has been documented since the 10th century, became the property of the Carthusian Fathers of La Verne in 1588. In 1855, Horace Vernet, the official painter to Napoleon III, acquired it and built a château on the estate. In 1920, it was purchased by the Faré family, who still own the estate today. They resumed bottling on the estate in 2010 and, in 2018, entrusted the management of its 65 hectares of vineyards to Julie Barneau and Christophe Deffilippi.

Review by Mr. GILLES D. Published on July 29, 2022

Any occasion is a good one to celebrate the work of an independent winemaker. This is especially true when the wine is the pure product of a Provence vineyard located on the “Côté Mer” and facing the islands of Porquerolles and Port-Cros. Beyond the nose, which already offers a veritable explosion of fruit, the pleasure continues on the palate with its light, invigorating mineral notes. The finish is as refreshing as a gentle sea breeze, evoking sea spray with a hint of salt. Rating: 4. From aperitif to main course, it’s just a short step to a lovely summer evening featuring Mediterranean caramote prawns grilled à la plancha and flambéed with Pastis. They perfectly complemented the aromas of this rosé—a wine meant for sharing, full of sunshine and with an unmistakably maritime character—best served well chilled.
