This wine is pressed after a long maceration to allow the Rolle’s full range of fruity aromas to shine through. 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 coastal 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 production, 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 at the estate; exceptional vintages are being produced, 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 momentum of wines from this town with undeniable potential. The current team is making these 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 winery, 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 and comment by Mr. CEDRIC L. Published on August 12, 2024
The Côtes de Provence, particularly known for their rosé, are well worth tasting in both white and red varieties. Here, the Rolle grape is wonderfully crafted: freshness at the start of the tasting, notes of citron, with a long finish that lingers on jammy flavors, and a distinct hint of the sea. It’s simple and very good. Perfect with a monkfish tagine with candied lemons.
