This lovely white wine is intense and very refined on the nose, with aromas of white fruit, hawthorn, and citrus. On the palate, fresh fruit and floral notes give it juiciness, roundness, and smoothness. The finish is taut and fresh... Guaranteed pleasure!

About the estate:
In 1989, Yves Rousset-Rouard purchased an old farmhouse and its 8 hectares of vines with the aim of producing a great terroir wine and promoting the Côtes du Luberon appellation, now known as "Luberon." Twenty years later, through hard work and a highly selective choice of plots, he seems to have achieved his goal. His son Alexis has also been helping him on the estate since 1995. Located on the northern slope of the Luberon massif, the 40 hectares under production comprise more than 65 plots, all planted with 14 different grape varieties, with Syrah and Grenache forming the basis. Within the estate grounds is the Corkscrew Museum, which houses 1,200 items dating from the 17th century to the present day.
