“Richness and freshness are the two hallmarks of this white wine”
“Vermentino, which makes up the majority of this wine—blended with Grenache and Macabeu—is highly prized in Roussillon for its aromatic profile and, above all, its freshness. This expressive white is a fine example, opening with floral notes of almond blossom and fruity hints of peach. Full-bodied and generous on the palate, it strikes a perfect balance between roundness and liveliness, underscored by a touch of fresh almond on the finish.” (Le Guide Hachette 2026)

About the wine:
Vermentino, which makes up the majority of this wine and is complemented by Grenache and Macabeu, is highly prized in Roussillon for its aromatic richness and, above all, its freshness. This expressive white wine is a fine example, opening with floral notes of almond blossom and fruity hints of peach. Full-bodied and generous on the palate, it strikes a perfect balance between roundness and liveliness, highlighted by a touch of fresh almond on the finish.
About the estate:
All that remains of the building constructed in the 12th century by Cistercian monks is the magnificent tower clinging to the rock face. Jean and Bernard Dauré purchased the estate in 1974. The mid-19th-century silkworm farm now houses the Contemporary Art Space, which sits next to one of the first winemaker-run restaurants established in France, open during the summer. The vineyard covers 90 hectares.
