    From vineyards nestled almost at the edge of the city of Toulon. Very pale lemon-white. Sweet, generous but restrained oaky aromas on the nose. The palate showcases beautiful concentration, marked by a very long, saline mineral elegance and mouthwatering, stony acidity. Refreshing, linear and exceptionally classy, supported by dry, integrated tannins. Not a wine opting for brute force or decadence, but rather a refined, delicate, whispery and confident expression. Very lovely.
