This wine is pressed after a long maceration to allow all the fruity aromas of the Rolle grape to fully express themselves. Its refined and delicate nose, with notes of citrus, jasmine, and exotic fruits, leads to a palate with a fresh and silky attack. A beautiful white wine full of finesse that concludes with a briny finish, a hallmark of its seaside terroir. Whether served as an aperitif or paired with fish tartares, Hélène is sure to surprise you!

Rated estate (2021 guide): 2 stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous vintage)
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 is being 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 town 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 has been documented since 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, acquired it and built a château on the estate. In 1920, it was purchased by the Faré family, who still own the property today. They resumed bottling at the estate in 2010 and, in 2018, entrusted the management of its 65 hectares of vineyards to Julie Barneau and Christophe Deffilippi.
