Wine

Viognier and Sauvignon are not the typical grape varieties of Provence. Blended with Rolle however we created a magnificent fresh and fruity white wine of the IGP Pays des Maures appellation. The appellation owes its name to the presence of Saracens in our region in the 8th-9th centuries. 
 
For the vinification we apply the same attention to Carlotta as to our AOP wines. Hand-picking, a short cold maceration, a vinification in whole bunches and a slow and gentle pressing under inert gas to protect the juices from oxidation.

Tasting notes

The colour is pale and brilliant, pear coloured with a hint of grey.

The nose is delicate with notes of lemon, accents of bergamot, peach aromas and a hint of banana.

The palate is fresh, crisp and well balanced thanks to a rich body and a pleasant texture. Saltiness mingles with vivacity. Citrus notes dominate a refreshing final. 

Food Pairing

Carlotta goes perfectly with asparagus, seafood, trout or salmon, poultry, veal or pork as well as fresh salads full of vitamins. 

Two recommendations: A sour fresh goat cheese is almost perfect. Alternatively a mild and fruity, spicy cheese like a Brie de Meaux (a soft white cheese from Ile de France) or a good Camembert.

As an alternative to cheese we recommend a creamy milk chocolate and any dessert with the scents of milk, honey and vanilla. 


Gold Medal: Le Concours des Vignerons Indépendants 2024

Gold Medal: Le Concours des Vignerons Indépendants 2024

The Concours des Vignerons Indépendants is not the oldest, it does not have the largest number of candidates, nor the largest number of samples, but it is the only wine and spirits competition where only one category of producer competes: the winegrowers who make their wines in private cellars, the winegrowers who make their wines from A to Z, in other words: the Vignerons Indépendants. The Concours des Vignerons Indépendants is approx. 4500 samples that are tasted by more than 1300 tasters. It differs from other competitions by having a jury composed essentially of trained and qualified consumers. This guarantees both the independence of its results and its credibility. This openness to the final buyer is a real originality. The tasters are recruited from among wine lovers, members of wine clubs and enthusiastic visitors to the Independent Winegrowers' Wine Fairs. These tasters follow training courses on the mechanisms and techniques of tasting. These modules give them an approach to the tasting competition and harmonise the vocabulary between tasters.
