Region: Provence
Country: France
Grapes: Vermentino, Grenache Blanc
Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, low tannin, medium acidity, dry
Château la Calisse sits high at Pontevès in the Coteaux Varois en Provence, an inland, altitude-cooled corner of Provence where whites keep noticeably more freshness than the coastal appellations manage. The blend pairs Rolle — Vermentino — with Grenache Blanc: white peach and citrus zest lifted by white flowers, with the fennel and bitter-almond notes Vermentino gives in the south, and a saline snap on the finish. Medium-bodied and dry, with more texture and grip than most visitors to Provence expect from anything that is not rosé.
Serving: Serve at 9–11 °C.
