White
Sold individually
Drink
"New in white
Its golden color and fruity, floral nose hint at its great delicacy. A full palate completes the picture. It can be drunk now, but needs a little aeration to reach its full potential over the next 2 years.

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.
