Drink or Keep
"An originality for the curious, which will support cooked fish or white meat dishes!"
This unusual cuvée, 100% Rolle, was made like a red, with 10 days' pellicular maceration. Harmonious, with lovely, expressive fruit, complemented by notes of gingerbread and candied orange, the palate is supple, underlined by soft tannins.

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (2020 guide) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
This is one of Provence's most famous estates. It belongs to the Combard family, who manage this 85-hectare estate, 30 hectares of which are leased. The vines, located on the seashore in schistose soil, have been grown organically since 1979. We are currently in the process of converting everything to biodynamic viticulture. We welcome this commitment, which is no easy task for an estate of this size. While the wines are one of Provence's best-known assets, the family also goes to great lengths to welcome visitors, and during the summer months offers a cultural program well worth the detour.
