Château La Coste, Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence, Grand Vin Blanc, 2018

Château La Coste is a dramatically beautiful estate, situated 16km north of Aix en Provence with fine views of the Luberon mountains and the snow-capped Alps beyond. The property has been organic since 2009 and follows strict biodynamic principles to preserve the terroir and to safeguard the essence of the soil. The state of the art cuverie, designed by French architect Jean Nouvel, is hugely impressive and symbolic of the acute attention to detail of everything at Château La Coste.

It is also home to an extraordinary art collection, boutique hotel and highly regarded restaurants. However, it is the vines and the vignerons that take centre stage and are the beating pulse of this special place.

Rich and complex. Wonderful minerality, notes of fresh citrus fruits. Full-bodied flavour, with a beautiful freshness. Long finish, with notes of candied citrus fruit.
