"It's a great wine" (Parker)
"There is something comforting about this wine. Perhaps it is due to its creamy notes of oats and cooked pears, with their curves and texture as soft as goose down. Perhaps it's the warmth of licorice and fennel bulb that rises from the back of the mouth and slowly descends on both sides of the palate to settle on the tip of the tongue. Perhaps it's because the acidity tingles like the sweetest green chili peppers. Perhaps it's because the finish gives the impression (the taste) of a generous grandmother handing you a slice of warm bread, fresh out of the oven, buttered and accompanied by a glass of apple juice. With just a hint of white pepper." (Jancis Robinson)

Wine rating (2025 guide) 91/100 (Outstanding wine)
About wine:
The Méditerranée Exception Blanc reveals a lively and vibrant bouquet of spices, ripe orchard fruits, aromatic herbs, and spring flowers from the very first sniff. Moderately full-bodied, round, and harmonious, it is elegant and energetic, with lively acidity and a delicate, salty, enticing, and charming finish. Fermented and aged for 11 months in barrels, this is a great wine.

About wine:
A juicy, fruity, and delicious Chardonnay. The nose reveals notes of apple, bergamot, and fresh herbs. It is medium-bodied with moderate acidity. Its silky, caressing, and comforting texture offers a finish with aromas of freshly cut apple. Drink now.

About wine:
Bright golden color. Clean nose with aromas of fresh stone fruit, ripe citrus, soft oak, fresh butter, and some chalky notes. Good mouthfeel and texture, voluminous with elegant young stone fruit highlighted by lively acidity, balanced oak, and a long, persistent finish.
