This lovely white wine is intense and exceptionally refined on the nose, with notes of white fruit, hawthorn, and citrus. On the palate, its fresh fruitiness and floral notes lend it vibrancy, roundness, and smoothness. The finish is crisp and fresh... A guaranteed delight!

About the estate:
In 1989, Yves Rousset-Rouard purchased an old farmhouse and its 8 hectares of vineyards with the aim of producing a great terroir-driven wine and introducing the world to the Côtes du Luberon appellation—now known simply as “Luberon.” Twenty years later, through hard work and a highly selective choice of plots, he appears to have achieved his goal. His son Alexis has also been assisting him on the estate since 1995. Located on the northern slope of the Luberon massif, the approximately 40 hectares under production comprise more than 65 plots, all planted with 14 different grape varieties, though Syrah and Grenache form the foundation. Within the estate grounds lies the Corkscrew Museum, housing 1,200 pieces dating from the 17th century to the present day.
