At an elevation of 350 meters, Chateau La Coste's limestone-clay slopes in Provence's Mediterranean region provide an exceptional foundation for their centuries-old winemaking legacy. The north-facing vineyard, certified organic since 2009 and following biodynamic principles under Demeter certification, spans 200 hectares where ancient cypresses, stone pines, and olive trees create a harmonious ecosystem that enhances the natural viticulture practiced here.
This elegant white blend of Chardonnay, Vermentino, and Sauvignon Blanc showcases a golden, honeyed hue and delivers complex aromas of toasted brioche layered with vibrant citrus and white fruit notes. The palate presents remarkable volume and richness while maintaining precise balance, culminating in a persistent finish marked by subtle salinity. The wine undergoes careful parcel selection, indigenous yeast fermentation, and 8-10 months of oak aging, resulting in a sophisticated expression that pairs brilliantly with Provençal cuisine, particularly seafood dishes like bouillabaisse and pan-seared scallops.
