Rated estate (2019 guide) Selected (An estate or winery that impressed us with one or more of its wines, but where we are unable to give an overall opinion on the style of the entire range)
About the estate:
This estate was created by the Wallut family in 1990, when they decided to plant Viognier grapes around their vacation home. The vines are located at an altitude of between 400 and 600 meters, which brings freshness and elegance to the estate's wines. The 13 hectares of small plots are located on south-east facing slopes, swept by the mistral wind, on marl and limestone soils. Half of the estate's production is white, almost entirely dedicated to the Viognier grape variety which, thanks to the altitude, produces delicate and floral wines. The reds also have full and floral bouquets.
