A crisp, mineral-driven Aix-en-Provence white with citrus and herbal notes, ideal for seafood, shellfish, and light Mediterranean dishes.

🥂 Tasting profile

Appearance

  • Pale lemon to light straw
  • Bright, crystalline clarity (reductive winemaking style)

Nose (aromatic profile)

  • Primary fruit: citrus (lemon, grapefruit), green apple
  • Mediterranean white fruit: pear, white peach
  • Herbal notes: fennel, thyme, garrigue
  • Floral lift: white flowers (acacia)
  • Mineral tone: chalk / wet stone

👉 This aligns with estate style emphasizing freshness and aromatic purity

Palate

  • Dry, medium-light body
  • High freshness / acidity-driven
  • Flavor core: Citrus + orchard fruit - Subtle saline/mineral edge

Texture:

  • Linear, precise (not creamy, low oak influence typical of the estate)
  • Alcohol: ~12.5–13% (regional norm)

Finish

  • Clean, crisp and slightly saline
  • Medium length with citrus and mineral persistence

Structural summary

  • Body: light → medium
  • Acidity: medium+ (key structural driver)
  • Phenolics: low (gentle pressing, white vinification)
  • Style: fresh, mineral, gastronomic Provence blanc

🍽️ Food pairing

🐟 Seafood & shellfish

  • Oysters, clams, scallops
  • Grilled or steamed white fish (sea bass, dorade)
  • Ceviche / crudo

🥗 Mediterranean light cuisine

  • Salade niçoise (without heavy dressing)
  • Tomato + olive oil dishes
  • Herb-driven vegetable plates

🧀 Cheese

  • Goat cheese (chèvre)
  • Fresh cheeses (faisselle, ricotta)

🍗 Light proteins

  • Grilled chicken with lemon/herbs
  • Turkey, light pork preparations

Also works well

  • Sushi / sashimi
  • Pasta with seafood or light cream-citrus sauces
  • Aperitif use (classic Provence positioning)

🧭 Serving & use (sommelier)

  • Aix-en-Provence AOP
  • Serving temp: 8–10 °C
  • Glassware: medium white wine glass (not too narrow; allows aromatics to open)
  • Drink window: 2026–2030 (freshness-driven style)
  • No decanting (may benefit from slight aeration in glass)

🧩 Key takeaway

This is a classic high-altitude Provence blanc expression from Aix-en-Provence

  • not tropical or opulent
  • built on freshness, minerality, and precision
  • best used as a food wine rather than a standalone aromatic showpiece
