Capitelle
white wine

Layered aromas and ageing

The stone capitelle that stands in our vineyard is the inspiration for this exceptional cuvee. In the image of this edifice, we hope that our wine finds its place in history; like its walls shaped with precision, we search for the harmony of a delicate yet structured wine. Our ageing cellar, constructed with the same Beaucaire stone, shelters the barrels underground, under vaulted ceilings that keep them cool and allow them to age in peace. The result of this cuvee is concentration and elegance.

Appearance

Straw gold.

Bouquet

White flower, dry fruits (almonds) with a hint of citrus and white-fleshed fruit.

Palate

A beautiful structure with a clear minerality, concentrated and fresh, a beautiful aromatic persistence.

Ageing

Enjoy now or over 6 years.

Gilbert & Gaillard 2021

« Robe dorée lumineuse. Nez discret aux arômes de fruits très mûrs. La bouche séduit par son harmonie, sa rondeur mais retient quelque peu ses arômes. Un blanc qui gagnera à être carafé pour dynamiser son expression »

Note : Médaille d'Or

Decanter - Millésime 2019

«Sage and apricot tart nose. Soft, generous style of white, no excessive oak make-up, just good bright fruit. A rich style to enjoy soon.»

Note : 90/100
