Domaine des Terres Blanches blanc 2016

Les Baux de Provence|White wine

3.7/5 (7 customers)

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. On the palate, it is rich, with plenty of freshness and perfect balance, and a smooth finish with a hint of linden blossom… A truly outstanding white wine!

Bettane & Desseauve

Rated estate (2017 guide) 1*Star (A well-crafted, 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 is particularly strong. These winds thus protect the vines from frost and guard them against disease. The estate has just been acquired by Fiducial and will certainly undergo changes in future vintages.

Guide Hachette des vins

Rated estate (2017 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines regularly receive awards from 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. Hild has maintained this focus on a 40-hectare vineyard. The estate is regularly in the spotlight for its Baux-de-Provence wines, available in all three colors.
