"The freshness of Vermentinu
"Brilliant light yellow, the nose of a refined, fresh Vermentinu, with notes of dried fruit, floral dominance and a barely perceptible light woody touch. The absence of malolactic fermentation in this vintage offers a dynamic palate, beautiful natural tension, elegant, crisp juice; beautiful complexity with a slight bitterness on the finish." (Le Guide RVF 2025)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domain rated 1*Star (A serious, commendable production, in keeping with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the domain :
The vineyard lies at the heart of the magnificent Ortolo valley, and produces precise, cleanly vinified wines that lack the individuality of the best. We especially recommend the rosé, which perfectly meets expectations.
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Wine rated (2025 guide) 92/100
Domaine rated (2024 guide) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winegrowers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
Bright, light yellow, the nose of a pure, fresh Vermentinu, with notes of dried fruit, floral overtones and a barely perceptible hint of wood. The absence of malolactic fermentation in this vintage offers a dynamic mouthfeel, beautiful natural tension, elegant, crisp juice; beautiful complexity with a slight bitterness on the finish.
About the domain :
Created in 2000, this estate, set in the enchanting Ortolo valley, has been entirely planted with 16 hectares of vines surrounded by maquis, a privileged place where mountains meet hills. The first certified organic vintage was 2005. Élisabeth Quilichini's hard work is bearing fruit, producing a rosé, a white and two red wines of excellent quality, aged in foudre and capable of ageing well. The estate has happily evolved towards reds with a perfumed, infused character, and last year earned a well-deserved first star.
