A very bright young man, Daniel is quick to learn but rooted in the soil of his vineyards which are situated at the eastern end of the long valley around Maury. The grapes of Maury are Grenache and Carignan, and Daniel knows how to handle them both for vin doux and superb table wine. He is aided by the fact that here, in what is actually part of Catalonia, Carignan gets truly ripe, characterized by both physiological and phenolic ripeness.

White Blend: 70% Grenache Gris, 30% Carignan Gris.

An old-vine Roussillon cuvée that approximates white Burgundy in character. Rich gold color, with accents of earth and hay on the nose, this offers a viscous mouthfeel with subtle notes of vanilla, melon, lemon citrus, and invigorating salty mineral-laden finish.

Pair with creamy celery root soup, lobster, Caesar salad, French blue cheeses, and hearty fish stews.
