The vineyard is situated on the terroir of La Terre d’Argence that lies between the Rhône and Camargue. For one thousand years it was linked to Provence: it was a part of the diocese of Arles from the 11th to the 19th century. It is the silvery flashes of the leaves of the alder and olive trees, fluttering in the Mistral wind, as well as the richness of the wine that lends its name to it.

The IGP Pont du Gard offers a lot of creativity with an original blend: the union of Rhône varieties (Viognier et Roussanne) with a variety of the South-West (Petit Manseng, therefore certified IGP “Pont du Gard”). This famous Roman aqueduct, situated close to the estate, evokes the richness of our location as the crossroads and the link between two regions.

The Mediterranean, furthermore, with its summer breeze, balances the wine and allows it to develop a rich, aromatic palate.

Low-yield old vines (35 hl/ha). A white blend of Viognier, Roussanne, Petit Manseng.

Vinification without sulphur for more purity and intense fruitiness (a slight addition during bottling ensures the stability and regularity of the wine).

Aged for one year 2/3 in vats, and 1/3 in demi-muids.

Organic certified.

Bright yellow-gold in colour, with intense yellow-fleshed fruit and florals. The palate is textural, long and with a lick of salinity on the finish.
