About this winery
Perfectly located among the green hills of Provence, Château de l'Escarelle's vineyard is forever evolving and renewing itself. The property's 100 hectares of vines flourish in a beautiful protected green setting of 1000 hectares. The vines are planted on soil consisting of limestone pebbles, on terraces separated by dry-stone walls at an altitude of up to 500 metres, harmoniously following the shape of Escarelle's hills and Montagne de la Loube.

Production notes
The grapes are harvested by machine in the early hours of the morning with a view to obtaining a wine of an attractively pale colour. The approach to vinification is traditional and the grapes are completely destemmed. There is a short period of skin maceration before the pressing process. Cold temperature settling is the next stage. Fermentation is temperature-controlled and malolactic fermentation avoided in order to retain those crisp, fresh aromas. Fermentation is by the traditional method – temperature-controlled in a stainless-steel vat.
Tasting notes
Attractive and glossy pale pink colour. The nose is delicate, with elegant floral aromas. On the palate, there is a lively minerality, a clean attack with fresh strawberry notes. Perfect on its own as an aperitif or with southern French dishes. Serve fresh (10-12°C).
