Note: RVF 14/20
A lovely white wine made from young vines of Grenache Blanc, Vermentino, and Roussanne, with a touch of Clairette. This wine offers fruity notes of citrus, floral, and mineral, with a beautiful, lively attack that is both mineral and full-bodied, featuring generous fruit. A perfect balance between silkiness and freshness!

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.
