"To be savored!"
A wine of finesse, revealing aromas of white flowers and fresh herbs. The palate is fat and pleasant, with notes of pineapple, lemon and white pepper. Enjoy it now with a citrus-based dish or preserved lemons, for example.

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the domain :
Founded in Vingrau in 2002 by Jacques Castany and Pascal Dieumidou, this estate found good advice right from the start from their neighbor Hervé Bizeul's oenologist (Clos des Fées). In 2004, its reputation took off thanks to Decanter magazine. However, the two are still part-time winemakers, despite their 10 hectares in production. The winery, housed in an old garage, remains simple but efficient. All the cuvées are very well made, making the domaine a sure bet in the Roussillon region.
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2020) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
Jacques Castany worked in transport and Pascal Dieunidou in IT. In 2002, they set up in viticulture in a tiny winery. With success, as their already brilliant track record testifies. The 10-hectare vineyard is located in Vingrau, facing an imposing limestone cirque.
