Description
Côte du Ventoux AOP – La Camarette – White is a cuvée that embodies all the freshness and finesse of the high-altitude terroirs of the southern Rhône Valley. Made from a typical blend of southern white grape varieties – often Grenache blanc, Clairette, Roussanne or Bourboulenc, depending on the vintage – this white wine perfectly reflects the luminous, mineral identity of the Ventoux appellation.
The vines are grown on clay-limestone soils, enjoying generous sunshine tempered by altitude and the cool winds of Mont Ventoux. The La Camarette estate, committed to sustainable viticulture, tends its plots with care, without synthetic chemicals, respecting local biodiversity.
The grapes are harvested by hand early in the morning to preserve their freshness, then gently pressed directly. Cold static settling is followed by fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, to preserve the full aromatic expression. The wine is then aged on fine lees for several months, with occasional stirring, giving it a certain breadth while retaining its liveliness.
On tasting, the colour is pale and brilliant, with golden hints. The nose is expressive, marked by notes of white flowers, citrus (lemon, grapefruit) and a touch of fresh almond. On the palate, the attack is lively and precise, the body light yet structured, with a saline, mineral finish that pleasantly prolongs the tasting.
