"An ode to pleasure

This white wine has a brilliant color. The minerality of its terroir blends with the aromatic aromatic expression of its grape varieties. White and exotic fruits pass from the nose to the palate in perfect harmony. Finesse envelops the entire palate, where freshness freshness mingles on the finish, reminiscent of its limestone terroir. A true pleasure at all times!

About the domain :

In 1919, Jean Olivier acquired the former estate of the Counts of Aqueria, commissioned by an 18th-century château and adorned with a French-style park. His son-in-law Paul de Bez completely restructured the vineyard: today, 64 ha in a single block, managed since 1984 by his grandsons Vincent and Bruno, now joined by Raphaël, the fourth generation. A sure bet for lirac and tavel.

Domain rated 3*Stars (very good production)

About the domain :

Château d'Aqueria dates back to the 16th century. In 1920, it was acquired by Jean Olivier, who gave it its letters of nobility. Today, Vincent and Bruno de Bez look after the land of their childhood - no less than 66 hectares. Apart from Tavel, a renowned gourmet rosé, the rest of the production in the Lirac appellation (both red and white) is often interesting.
