About the producer

Vignerons Propriétés Associés (VPA) is the result of merging four strategic cellars, bringing together expertise and tradition. VPA cultivates around 2500 hectares of vineyards, embodying a steadfast commitment to sustainable and organic viticulture. A dedicated team of 6 oenologists ensure expertise from the vineyards to the cellar, with unique vinification for each Château and Domaine, ensuring unmatched character and quality.

Wine growing / wine making

The climate of the Costières de Nîmes is marked by remarkable sunshine, with over 250 sun-drenched days each year. Precipitation, although rare, is concentrated mainly in autumn, giving rise to some spectacular late summer storms. As in the entire Rhône Valley, the mistral blows here throughout the year, playing a crucial role in the health and quality of the vines. The clay soils provide the vine with the water and essential minerals for its development, while the rolled pebbles offer gentle heat retention. The sea breeze, coming from the Mediterranean and the Camargue ponds, softens the intense summer heat and tempers the southern effect of the sun.

Tasting notes

“An exuberant, juicy and balanced white wine showcasing aromas of sliced apple, Mediterranean herbs and minerality. Vibrant acidity, making it lively and succulent, culminating in a zesty and delicious finish”. James Suckling 90/100.
