“Generous and lively, this is the estate’s must-try white wine!”

“A fresh, lively, and textured blend of White Grenache, Roussanne, and Vermentino. Notes of fresh lemon, warm herbs, and stone on the nose. Medium-bodied, it features a fresh core of blanched almonds and sliced green pears that lend it freshness and balance. Lively and well-structured.” (James Suckling 2024)

About the estate:

A true pioneer in the appellation’s quality revival, this estate boasts diverse terroirs that it skillfully blends to create wines that strike a balance between finesse and structure.

Guide Hachette des vins

Rated Estate Award-winning Wines (This producer's wines are regularly recognized by the guide)

About the estate:

François Collard is a regular in the Guide, with his wines often ranking highly. Established in 1994, he began bottling wines from the family vineyards (65 hectares certified organic since 2014) under two labels: Mourgues du Grès, which belonged to the Ursuline convent of Beaucaire until the Revolution, and La Tour de Béraud, named after a 14th-century watchtower Never short on ideas, the Collard couple invites visitors to explore every facet of the estate via a marked trail equipped with Bluetooth markers.
