White

This coastal vineyard near La Londe-les-Maures has long been highly regarded for its white wines, with Semillon taking a starring role and the schist soils and maritime climate reputedly lending a saline minerality to the wines. 70% Semillon, 30% Rolle, aged for four to six months using wooden foudres with regular batonnage to help impart fat and length to the palate and stabilise the acidity and colour. The final blend is determined in December following the vintage, then clarification using bentonite clay and bottling is carried out from the February. Elizabeth Gabay MW: Fresh lemons. Creamy, salty, intense and mouthwatering. Lifted by some pretty blue florals and waxy white blossom. Natasha Hughes MW: Smoky, spicy, toasty oak. Fleshy mid-palate, almost syrupy in texture. A hint of struck match. Generous, ripe stone fruit, orange blossom. Long. Good balance. Joanna Simon: Zesty lemon curd and dried flowers. Lanolin, bitter lemon and green olive tapenade on the palate. Bitter herbs and lemon. Characterful and unusual.
