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 arrived in 2012 as technical director. Most of the production is now bottled on the estate, producing fine vintages, and year after year the wines are improving admirably. The vineyard has been carefully restructured, which bodes well for the future of this rising star of the La Londe appellation, which is now contributing to the dynamic growth of wines from this commune with undeniable potential. The current team is making the wines 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 dates back to the 16th century, became the property of the Carthusian Fathers of La Verne in 1588. In 1855, Horace Vernet, the official painter to Napoleon III, purchased 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 it comes to a wine that 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 with Mediterranean caramote prawns grilled à la plancha and flambéed with Pastis. They perfectly complemented the aromas of this rosé meant for sharing—sun-drenched and with an unmistakably maritime character—to be served well chilled.
