TERRE DE BLANC

Tasting notes

by: Baptiste Ross-Bonneau*

Golden white wine with shimmering silver highlights.

The nose bursts with complexity: prominent fennel, rocky minerality, juicy white fruit, buttery pastry notes and a delicate vanilla lift.

The palate is round, rich and full-flavoured, with excellent length. Vibrant freshness balances the creamy texture, elevating this cuvée to a truly rare gastronomic white.

Food pairing: exquisite with pan-seared John Dory from the Côte Vermeille’s rocky shores, finished with a creamy caper sauce and a Roussillon vegetable millefeuille.
