"The Mediterranean in a bottle!"
This 100% Rolle shines with freshness and minerality. The Mediterranean, at the edge of the vineyards, adds a saline finish. With exotic fruit flavors and a hint of vanilla, it's the perfect accompaniment to roasted scallops and Mediterranean fish in olive oil.

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2023) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the domain :
Owned by the Bolloré group, this 108-hectare cru classé has returned to the limelight thanks to judicious investment. La Bastide Blanche, from the same owner but much smaller, produces wines from 13 hectares of vines. The wines are beautifully consistent in all colors, demonstrating the consistency of quality in winemaking. However, they still lack the complexity and personality befitting their cru status.
