Mon Plaisir Blanc is a refined white wine born from the sun-drenched vineyards of Cotes de Provence. Crafted from a blend of Clairette and Rolle grapes grown on clay-limestone soils with sandy variations, this elegant wine captures the essence of the Mediterranean terroir. The grapes are harvested during the cool of the night to preserve their natural freshness and aromatic intensity. After gentle pressing and a controlled, low-temperature fermentation in stainless steel vats, Mon Plaisir Blanc emerges as a vibrant expression of Provencal winemaking expertise. This wine promises a refreshing experience, perfect for pairing with seafood and the delicate flavours of grilled fish.
