Rhône
White
Sold individually
Drink or Keep
Harvested in bright summer sunshine, the 3 white grape varieties express themselves with aromas of white fruit and sweet spices. On the palate, rich and balanced by a fine minerality, the finish is complex and dense, with subtle bitters. A very fine white Vacqueyras!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
3*Star rating (High-quality production, a benchmark in its sector)
About the domain :
Over the past 15 years, the Perrin family of Château de Beaucastel has expanded by acquiring appellations in the Southern Rhône Valley. A successful ambition, both in Luberon with Vieille Ferme and on the other terroirs presented. A perfect mastery of fermentation and appropriate ageing are key factors in this success.
