Les Béates Coteaux d’Aix-en-Provence (White)

More from this producer: Les Béates

  • 2024

    Pale gold. Pretty bruised fruit, orchard blossom, soft pineapple and pear on the nose with a hint of bitter almond. Beautifully rich on the palate with supple, ripe, softly bruised yellow peaches. This is cut through by fine minerality, firm gravelly acidity and a black, almost inky finish. A hint of oak, plenty of ripe fruit, and genuinely charming textural balance; a pretty, easy-drinking wine with lovely concentration.
