The Wine
The limestone slopes of the Coteaux Varois are where the Counts of Provence chose to spend their summers. It’s easy to see why, with the spectacular mountain backdrop and the warm sunshine. The appellation also has an excellent climate for vines, and grapes for rosé in particular – a style it’s renowned for. Warm sunshine and a gentle sea breeze encourage ripe fruity flavours. That’s why Laurent and Christian Nicolau lost no time when the opportunity arose to buy this domaine in 2004. Their small family estate is lovingly nurtured and the wines crafted by Elodie Dieudonné, a dynamic young winemaker who specialises in stunning rosé. With bright fruit and a savoury herbal edge, this one tastes great with tomato tart, Niçoise salad or chicken.
