RVF
"This gastronomic white combines its southern character with the minerality and freshness of l'Escalette.
A blend of Carignan blanc, Grenache blanc, Grenache gris and Terret Bourret, Les Clapas blanc is subtle and saline on the palate. Complex, it is marked by the minerality and finesse so characteristic of the estate's wines. A white wine on the edge, where purity and freshness take center stage.

About the domain :
Located to the north-west of the Terrasses du Larzac, in the beautiful area of Pégairolles de l'Escale and Lauroux, this 20-hectare estate has been owned by Julien and Delphine Zernott since 2003. The vineyard comprises some fifty terraces on limestone scree, with a high proportion of very old vines. This terroir is in good hands with this talented and determined couple. While the whites confirm their great elegance, all the reds presented this year are of the highest order, graceful, with exemplary tactile management and ageing.
