description
Mas De Valériole’s estate sits at the foot of the Rhône river, south of the ancient city of Arles and right on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. This is a special site that once played home and muse to Vincent Van Gogh, Gaugin and Picasso, each in search of capturing the spellbinding Southern Light…indeed, a place thought to have inspired Van Gogh’s initial artistic breakthrough. Additionally, the terroir gives the wines acute freshness and salinity. The coastal winds do cool the vineyards, and nearby marshes impart mouth-watering sea salt. ‘Charmentin’ is the winery’s flagship white. A delicious blend of Rolle (Vermentino) and Chardonnay. This is a wine that allows its distinct terroir to shine through. Light, with great acidity and freshness and that classic saline quality from the sea…a little bit of citrus and bitterness from the Rolle. ‘Charmentin’ is a unique crowd pleaser. -JWK
