Drink or Keep
"Bewitching!"
With its fruity nose (exotic fruits, pineapple and grapefruit) and spicy, smoky undertones, Les Larmes d'Ema blanc is an enchanting wine. The bold, vigorous palate reveals fruity flavors with a lively finish. It's the ideal companion for white meats, but also for pan-fried foie gras!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (2020 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the domain :
In Puissalicon, a pretty little feudal village between sea and mountains, the original wines of Domaine des Capriers are born. The estate stretches from north to south along the Libron River. This gives it a great diversity of terroirs, from the Villafranchian terraces in the north to the pink gravelly marls in the south, via the limestone puechs. Marion and Mathieu Vergnes, a young winemaking sibling enamored of this terroir, have taken over the family estate and produce top-quality wines: les-larmes-d'emma red, a benchmark cuvée full of character, rêve-de-louis red, gourmet and easy-to-drink, the new cuvée octave, with definite potential, and the aromatic, crystalline les-larmes-d'emma rosé. The two whites, larmes-d'emma (100% viognier) and rêve-de-louis, are highly aromatic, well-defined, lively and well-balanced.
