Hachette

“The jury was unanimously impressed by this blend of Grenache Blanc and Clairette aged in tanks. The tasters appreciated the relaxed, fruity (grapefruit, exotic fruit), and floral nose, as well as the palate—which is at once full-bodied, enveloping, and fresh, with crisp fruit (lime, a hint of exotic fruit) and great clarity.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2020) A great classic that embodies the distinctive charm of southern white wines, with concentration and freshness.

Guide Hachette des vins

Wine rated (2020 guide) 2** stars (Outstanding Wine)

About the wine:

The jury was unanimously impressed by this tank-aged blend of White Grenache and Clairette. The tasters appreciated its relaxed, fruity (grapefruit, exotic fruit), and floral nose, as well as its palate—which was at once full-bodied, smooth, and fresh, with crisp fruit notes (lime, a hint of exotic fruit) and great clarity.

Review by Mr. ALEXANDRE P. Published on February 22, 2020

A pleasant floral scent, though a little too much alcohol for my taste.
