Domaine de Saint-Ser Prestige blanc 2006
A Mediterranean white wine with intense fruitiness...
Msilver medal Independent Winemakers 2007The Vintage White Prestige This wine is made entirely from the Rolle grape variety, also known as Vermentino. A cherished variety, grown with low yields, whose grapes are harvested when slightly overripe, giving the wine an incomparable aromatic intensity. On the palate, it offers a lovely roundness and excellent balance. Aging 20% of the cuvée in new barrels delicately enriches the bouquet with vanilla notes. A must-have for any occasion...

Rated estate (2020 guide): 2 stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous vintage)
About the estate:
Jacqueline Bichot, a pharmacist who switched careers to become a winemaker, fell in love with this vineyard, ideally situated with the Sainte-Victoire mountain as a backdrop. It sits at an elevation of 400 meters, in an area where the cool climate is reflected in the wines. The Sainte-Victoire terroir produces pure, elegant wines here that are perfectly in tune with their origins. Having earned organic and biodynamic certification in 2017, she has demonstrated the seriousness of her approach and continues to nurture her 47 hectares of vines on the clay-limestone soil typical of the appellation.

Rated estate (2019 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines regularly receive awards from the guide)
About the estate:
The estate takes its name from the Chapel of Saint-Ser, dedicated to a 5th-century hermit who, ignoring the threats of the Visigothic ruler Enric, was beheaded. Cultivated using biodynamic methods, its vineyard (46 ha) stretches across a prime terroir of limestone gravel on the southern slope of Sainte-Victoire Mountain, where the grapes enjoy maximum sunlight.
