The 2022 Rimauresq Côtes de Provence Blanc is a beautifully refined white from one of Provence’s few Cru Classé estates. Produced primarily from Rolle (Vermentino) and grown on the estate’s distinctive schist and limestone soils, the wine reflects the unique microclimate of Rimauresq, where cooling Mediterranean influences preserve freshness and aromatic intensity. Organically farmed and crafted with a focus on purity and terroir expression, it showcases the elegance and mineral precision for which the estate is renowned.
The nose reveals white peach, pear and citrus blossom alongside delicate floral notes and hints of crushed stone. The palate is textured yet vibrant, with ripe orchard fruit balanced by bright acidity and a distinctive saline mineral edge. Fresh, elegant and beautifully poised, it finishes long and refreshing with impressive purity and finesse.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A sophisticated Provençal white that offers far more depth and character than many wines from the region. Its combination of texture, freshness and minerality makes it an excellent match for oysters, grilled fish, lobster, seafood pasta, roast chicken and soft goat’s cheese. Serve lightly chilled and enjoy now through 2028 while its vibrant fruit, freshness and mineral complexity are at their peak.
