"A perfect white for gourmets".
This cuvée is a selection of the estate's best clos de blanc, blending Grenache Blanc, Marsanne and Vermentino. This long-keeping white reveals fresh notes of nuts (almonds, hazelnuts), white flowers and hints of citrus. The attack is frank with a mineral framework and a rich, voluptuous structure. Perfect for gourmets!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 89/100 (Vintage 2019)
3*Star rating (High-quality production, a benchmark in its sector)
About the domain :
A true pioneer of the appellation's qualitative revival, this estate boasts a variety of terroirs which it uses to create blends that balance finesse and structure. The wines are of the highest quality, and are constantly improving. In summer, François and Anne Collard offer walking and mountain-biking tours around the estate to discover their terroir and the flora and fauna of the region. Well worth the detour! An excellent estate with a few exceptional plots of old vines, producing consistent, discreet wines that win us over every year.

About the domain :
François Collard is a regular in the Guide, with wines that often rank highly. Established in 1994, he produced the first bottlings from his family's vineyards (65 ha certified organic since 2014) under two labels: Mourgues du Grès, owned by the Ursulines de Beaucaire convent until the Revolution, and La Tour de Béraud, named after a 14th-century fire tower overlooking the vast Beaucaire plain. Never short of ideas, the Collard couple propose to discover all facets of the estate via an unmarked trail equipped with Bluetooth terminals.
