"Set sail with the freshness of this vintage!"
This fresh and delicate white wine is composed of 70% Rolle and 30% Sémillon. Its nose is lively and expressive with hints of fresh yellow fruit, citrus, and white flowers. Elegant and fresh, the palate is crisp, revealing all the typical freshness of this seaside terroir, with a salty finish and beautiful bitter notes, the signature of this unique terroir.

Rated estate (2020 guide) Selected (An estate or winery that impressed us with one or more of its wines, but where we are unable to give an overall opinion on the style of the entire range)
About the estate:
La Courtade, one of three estates on the magnificent island of Porquerolles, was purchased in 2014 by Édouard Carmignac, manager of the eponymous investment fund and avid art collector. Since then, the reception area has undergone major renovation work. The Carmignac Foundation has taken up residence there to exhibit the owner's highly eclectic and sophisticated collection. Renovating the old cellar has not been on the agenda until now, but this looks set to change in the near future. Although the wines now feature new, highly creative labels, the overall impression leaves us thirsty for more. This is a disappointing development given the magnificent character of the wines before the estate was taken over. Let's hope that very soon the wine will receive the same attention that Mr. Carmignac pays to his art. The terroir deserves it.

Note and opinion by Mr. GILLES D. Published on January 17, 2025
The Rolle-Sémillon blend produces a lively white wine, light and fresh, with notes of lemon, white grapefruit, and almonds. The minerality provides a lively tone, counterbalanced by a subtle touch of richness. The airy finish is enhanced by a pronounced iodine note. The price is a little steep at around €19. This unique white wine was designed to be served with a platter of sea urchins, followed by Mediterranean sardines grilled over charcoal. Rating = 3.3.
