“Grand Classique”, Côtes de Provence Blanc

Rolle (Vermentino) thrives in the Triassic limestone soils of Domaine Gavoty, and Roselyn produces versions that underline the variety’s inherent salinity and textural richness. Vinified and aged in a combination of cement and steel, the “Grand Classique” Blanc possesses a mouthwatering sense of pulpiness, evocative of Rolle’s thick skins, but it also comes across as nimble and bright (malolactic fermentation is blocked via temperature), and its long, commanding finish reveals the wine’s firm sense of architecture.
