Produced in a limited run of just 3,000 bottles, the Compostelle Blanc comes from vineyards where the grapes ripen slowly but to perfection, on highly permeable Villefranchian pebble soils. Its production also involves several months in Sauternes barrels, particularly those from Château d’Yquem. It opens with aromas of sweet spices (Bourbon vanilla) and displays roundness, freshness, and a beautiful aromatic complexity blending citrus and white flowers. An elegant and charming white wine that’s ready to enjoy right now!

About the estate:
“Luc Baudet had the audacity to settle in this region, which is still strongly influenced by the cooperative. Deeply attached to the Costières de Nîmes, he made his home at Mas Neuf. The richness of the terroirs allows him to offer three types of wine: Rhône Paradox, which emphasizes the freshness and purity of the fruit; Compostelle, the result of careful selection from old vines, as well as grapes from the best plots; and finally Armonio, born from a collaboration with Louis Mitjavile (of Tertre Roteboeuf in Saint-Émilion, among others).”
