Intense and fresh, Château Henri Bonnaud’s white wine offers a nose with delicate aromas of white flowers (hawthorn, acacia) and coconut. On the palate, it is soft and smooth, with a minty structure and lovely freshness, leading to a lingering, indulgent finish with notes of vanilla, butter, and pastry cream. A fine example of a Provençal white wine!

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2020 guide): 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable production, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
The limestone scree soil of this 29-hectare estate is typical of the Palette appellation. The natural amphitheater formed by the surrounding hills shields the vines from the mistral and creates a favorable microclimate. The talkative Stéphane Spitzglous, a native of the region, devotes himself to the vineyard as well as the winery, and it’s a real pleasure to discover this estate on the road between Sainte-Victoire and Aix. While he initially sent his production to the cooperative, today he bottles everything at the estate—a source of great pride for him.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate (2021 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)
About the estate:
In 1996, Stéphane Spitzglous took over his grandfather Henri Bonnaud’s vineyard. After extensive construction work to build a single structure housing the cellar, the wine storage area, and the tasting room, he released his first vintage in 2004 and renamed his estate after his grandfather. The vineyard is located in Tholonet, southeast of Aix-en-Provence, facing Montagne Sainte-Victoire, and covers 29 hectares that have been farmed organically since 2013.
