This fresh, aromatic cuvée is made from 4 southern grape varieties, including 40% Viognier, Grenache blanc, Roussanne and Clairette. The nose opens with a lovely bouquet of white flowers and citrus fruit. Carried by fine acidity, the palate is tonic and explosive with citrus, white and exotic fruits. An ideal aperitif wine!

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Domaine rated (guide 2022) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)

About the domain :

This three-generation family-run business produces a wide range of well-structured wines on some 70 hectares of land, in a modern, ambitious style that makes it one of Ventoux's "must-haves". Today managed by Frédéric and Alexandre Chaudière, the vineyard features nine grape varieties grown on gravelly clay-limestone slopes at an altitude of 300 meters. The wines are vinified with tact.

Guide Hachette des vins

Domaine noté (guide 2023) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)

About the domain :

Acquired in 1970 by Odette and René Bastide, this vast 100-hectare estate, with its consistent quality, has been run since 2003 by the third generation (Frédéric and Alexandre Chaudière). The entire vineyard is certified organic and in the process of being converted to biodynamic viticulture.

Domaine noté (guide 2023) Sélectionné (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the estates that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).

About the domain :

he story of this estate began in the 1970s, when the Chaudière grandparents restored the château and part of the vineyard. Paul and Edith then provided the impetus by leaving the cooperative and favoring terroir selection. Since 2000, their children Frédéric and Alexandre have overseen the destiny of this vast vineyard. We have been seduced by the stylistic shift in the wines: they have really gained in finesse and sapidity, and represent the freshness of the terroir with dignity.

Note and review by M. JEAN-MARC D. Published on 13/11/2022

Very pretty southern summer white wine with a high viognier content. Medium complexity but very nice freshness.
