An old estate from the early 19th Century the modern era began when owners Jean Paux-Rosset and his wife Claude took over the estate in 1990. Working with their son Bastien and daughter Marion, and consultant oenologist Claude Gros, they produce sustainably grown and made red and white wines from low yielding, old vines.

The Bottle Shop rating:
This is a medium bodied and textural white wine with bold stone fruit nose and palate – even a touch of pineapple. There’s a pleasant saline note with a fine vein of acidity.
