This white Baux de Provence is subtle and rich, offering aromas of citrus, broom, yellow flowers, and garrigue on the nose, with minerality and a lingering finish.

Bettane & Desseauve

Rated estate (2017 guide) 1*Star (A high-quality, recommendable wine that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))

About the estate:

The 35 hectares of vineyards, all facing southwest, are located on the plain at the foot of the northern slope of the Alpilles, in a corridor where the mistral wind blows particularly strongly. These winds thus protect the vines from frost and guard them against disease. The estate has recently been acquired by Fiducial and will undoubtedly undergo changes in future vintages.

Guide Hachette des vins

Rated estate (2017 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines are regularly recognized by the guide)

About the estate:

This pioneering estate in organic viticulture (“bio-active” since 1970) was founded in 1968 by Noël Michelin. Run by the Parmentier-Jolly family since 2007, it changed hands in 2012 when it was acquired by Laurent Hild, an industrialist from Alsace. He has maintained this focus on a 40-hectare vineyard. The estate is regularly in the spotlight for its Baux-de-Provence wines, in all three colors.
