Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Domaine rated (guide 2021) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)

About the domain :

Located just 900 meters from the sea, this family estate of almost 80 hectares sold all its production in bulk until Yannick Burles took over as technical director in 2012. Most of the production is bottled on the estate, with some fine cuvées emerging and the wines progressing admirably from year to year. The vineyard has been carefully restructured, which augurs well for the future of this rising star of the La Londe appellation, who is now playing a part in the dynamic development of the wines of this commune with its undeniable potential. The current team makes the wines shine.

Guide Hachette des vins

Domaine noté (guide 2020) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)

About the domain :

Dating back to the 10th century, this vineyard became the property of the Carthusian Fathers of La Verne in 1588. In 1855, Horace Vernet, Napoleon III's official painter, acquired it and added a château. In 1920, it was bought by the Faré family, who still own the property today, and who relaunched bottling at the estate in 2010, entrusting the management of its 65 ha of vines to Julie Barneau and Christophe Deffilippi in 2018.

Note and review by M. GILLES D. Published on 29/07/2022

Any occasion is a good one to salute the work of an independent winemaker. Even more so when it's the pure product of a Provence vineyard located "Côté Mer", facing the islands of Porquerolles and Port-Cros. Beyond the nose, which already offers a veritable explosion of fruit, the pleasure continues on the light palate with its invigorating mineral notes. The finish is as refreshing as a gentle sea breeze, evoking sea spray with a hint of salt. Score = 4. From the aperitif to the main course, there's just one step for a wonderful summer evening with Mediterranean caramote prawns a la plancha flambéed with Pastis. They have enhanced the aromas of this sharing rosé, full of sunshine and with an unmistakably maritime character, to be served well chilled.
