"An affordable gourmet wine"

"Made from equal parts Clairette and Grenache, with added Viognier and a hint of Marsanne, vinified and aged in 500-liter barrels for 4 months, this cuvée charms with its complex and captivating nose of hawthorn, cut grass, and dried apricot, enhanced by a touch of butter. On the palate, it has a lively attack, followed by a full-bodied, silky texture with notes of chamomile and toasted bread, enhanced by a lovely tension that gives it a long finish.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2023)
