Palette
The terroir of the Palette appellation lies on the lacustrine limestone of Langesse and Montaiguet. The vineyards of Palette are found exclusively on soils rendered uniform by limestone scree, i.e. on skeletal soils of little thickness and pebbles. The Palette vineyards are protected from northerly winds by the Langesse and Grand Cabri hills, but are subject to westerly/northwesterly winds via the Arc Valley. The predominantly northerly exposure almost always means late harvests.
Palette 's red and rosé wines are mainly made from Grenache noir, Mourvèdre and Cinsault grapes. Carignan, Syrah, Manosquin, Durif, Muscat noir, Cabernet Sauvignon and Castet are used as secondary grape varieties. For white wines, Clairette offers the best results, complemented by other grape varieties common to the terroir. Average production at Palette is 1,300 hectolitres, of which around 40% is red, 40% white and 20% rosé.

Intense and fresh, Château Henri Bonnaud's white wine presents a nose with delicate aromas of white flowers (hawthorn, acacia) and coconut. On the palate, it's soft and suave, with a minty, fresh structure and a persistent, gourmet finish with notes of vanilla, butter and custard. A fine definition of a Provencal white!
