What type of wine is it

Côtes de Provence Blanc from Château Peyrassol is a white blend of Vermentino and Ugni Blanc. It displays a fresh and pleasant profile, with a lean structure and lively aromas. The winemaking follows traditional methods with temperature control after gentle pneumatic pressing, ensuring a balance between freshness and elegance. Its approachable style is perfect for social occasions and ready consumption.

Where it comes from

Produced in the heart of Côtes de Provence, it comes from vineyards grown on clay and limestone soils in the inland valleys. The northern exposure preserves freshness, while the mineral-rich soils provide marked savoriness.

How it is made

Manual and selective harvesting of the ripest grapes guarantees the quality of the blend. After a gentle pneumatic pressing, winemaking proceeds with traditional methods and precise temperature control to preserve the primary aromas. Viticulture follows organic practices in conversion, with cereals sown between the rows. Aging on fine lees in steel enhances roundness and aromatic intensity.

Tasting notes

Visually, the wine appears bright golden with green highlights. The nose reveals white flowers and ripe pear, followed by notes of lemon and acacia honey. On the palate it is light and lively, with a silky texture that makes it easy to drink. Savory freshness and a persistent citrus finish support its complexity.

What to pair it with

This white pairs well with fish and seafood dishes, such as sea bream ceviche. It is also ideal with seafood risotto and fresh goat cheeses. Its delicacy enhances the soft texture of the fish, while the citrus notes bring out light dressings and Mediterranean herbs.

When to serve it

It is recommended to serve this wine chilled, especially in spring and summer. Best enjoyed young, it fully expresses its liveliness and aromas in the first years. The balanced structure and good acidity make it suitable for convivial outdoor occasions, offering a pleasant and refreshing sensation.
