Blanc de Rolle
2022
AOP Côtes de Provence
Concours Général Agricole à Paris: «Un bijou de technologie, élégant, fin, bel équilibre» Often overlooked, Rolle (Vermentino) produces well-balanced, aromatic wines with potential for ageing and evolution.
Wine
Tasting notes
The colour is pale with lime and grey reflections.
The bouquet shows minerality, marked by notes of flint and box flower aromas giving way to maritime, iodine and lemon notes.
The palate offers a lovely volume, a delicate and tender balance and notes of candy. A touch of banana contributes to the richness, but also to the complexity and length of the finish.
Food Pairing
Do you like asparagus, often considered as "the enemy of wine"? Let yourself be seduced by our Blanc de Rolle! If asparagus, by its very rooty side, often has difficulty associating with a wine, the harmony with our Rolle and its beautiful minerality is surprising.
Our Vermentino is also an ideal companion for fresh fish, shellfish, scallops, spaghetti vongole, risotto frutti di mare, or a salad from Nice. Elegant with veal, sublime with lemon chicken with fresh coriander, dried tomatoes and black olives.
We suggest you to try our Blanc de Rolle with cheese from Sardinia. The world's most famous cheese from Sardinia is the Pecorino. Other popular cheeses from Sardinia are the Provolette (cow's milk) and the usually only short-ripened goat cheese Caprini.
Great desserts to go with the Rolle are an almond tart with a delicate hint of lemon or orange flavor or simply a caramel chocolate with a crystalline hint of fleur de sel.
Guide Hachette 2024 **
The Blanc de Rolle has been once again selected and awarded 2 stars by the Guide Hachette team for the 2024 edition. The comment of the Guide Hachette: "We salute the consistency of this Blanc de Rolle, which had already impressed the jury with its 2021. The 2022 charms from the outset with its shimmering lime-blossom color and an elegant bouquet of stone fruit, fresh grapes and angelica. On the palate full and juicy, without any hint of heaviness, but delicious flavors of ripe white peach and a touch of honey. A devilishly greedy white that would go extremely well with fried courgette flowers".
