This beautiful Côtes de Provence, with its pale gold color, delivers an intense nose opening with notes of wild white flowers, white fruit, fennel and boxwood. The palate is clean and unctuous, offering fine balance and a clean, fresh finish. Reminiscent of the garrigue...

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 seafront 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.

Note and review by M. GILLES D. Published on 28/06/2022

A simple, streamlined CDP, but in reality with a pure, taut style, characterized by freshness combined with roundness. Clean, full-bodied on the palate, with fruity flavors (pomelo, lemon, white peach) complemented by floral notes. Delicate, salivating finish tinged with iodine. It looked great at 8° with a cod bacalhau a bras shared with friends... Portuguese, it goes without saying. Score of 4.2.
