This central Provence estate was remodelled in 1989 by Tom Bove (owner of Château Miraval, 1992-2011), creating a 60ha terraced amphitheatre of vines around the wine cellar. Certified organic in 2016, it was bought in 2020 by Michel Reybier (owner of Cos d’Estournel in Bordeaux and Champagne Jeeper), who enlarged it two years later with the purchase of a 45ha neighbouring estate. The 2023 blends 79% Rolle (Vermentino), harvested late to ensure concentration, and 21% Semillon, raised and matured in stainless steel tanks on its lees. Elizabeth Gabay MW: Sweet honeyed peaches, honeysuckle, sweet lemons and a touch of creamy saffron. Austere mineral acidity, vibrantly youthful. Natasha Hughes MW: Almond cream, orange blossom, spice, quince. Lively acid provides balance. There’s real energy and focus here. A stony, mineral character on the long finish. Joanna Simon: Fresh lemon, lime and herbs on the nose. Lemony fruit with a floral – rose petal – note and lanolin texture on the palate.
