When Laurence Lilamand Bateman inherited the property at St-Rémy de Provence in 2016, she and her husband Benoît Bateman added a vineyard to the existing estate of olive trees. The first vintage was in 2019 and the estate will be certified biodynamic from the 2025 vintage. The grapes – in 2023 a blend of 45% Rolle, 34% Grenache Blanc and 21% Roussanne – began fermentation in stainless steel tanks, completing it in a combination of concrete eggs, stoneware jars and demi-muids, with regular batonnage, returning to the stainless steel for maturation. Elizabeth Gabay MW: Delicate peach and saffron aromas. Honeyed fruit with a saline, herbal edge. Vibrant freshness with a lovely juxtaposition of ripe honeyed fruit and salted lemons. Natasha Hughes MW: Good concentration of apricot fruit with a hint of smoke and aniseed. Zesty acidity. Potent and quite weighty. Joanna Simon: Fresh custard apple and green plum. Creamy, chalky vanilla notes with ripe green fruit and a touch of pepper. Mineral, textural, layered.
