2022 Chateau Malherbe - Cotes de Provence BLANC (750ml)
Château Malherbe is a gem of an estate nestled in the heart of the Côtes de Provence, farming its vineyards with care and passion in one of southern France's most naturally blessed wine regions. Their Blanc is a delightful and refreshing expression of Provence's white wine potential — a blend of aromatic southern varieties delivering white peach, citrus blossom, fresh herbs, and a hint of garrigue on the nose, with a crisp, textured palate and a clean, saline finish that practically transports you to a sun-drenched terrace overlooking the Mediterranean. Elegant, versatile, and utterly irresistible as a warm weather white.
Blend of Rolle from plot n°19 and Sémillon from plot n°20.
GROUND
Mixture of reddish brown clay and silver shale on the foothills of the Cap Bénat.
