An old-school South Italian wine preparation. Red fruits and a smoky character. Moderate tannins. — 2 years ago
2023 vintage. Château Cavalier Grand Blanc. 40% Rolle, 40% Sémillon, 20% Clairette. A high end white wine from this Castel owned Provence estate. A tiny production from 3 hectares, only 3993 bottles produced. A very nice blend, combining roundness and exotic fruit, with minerality and fresh acidity. Moreover this beauty is very affordable! Abv. 13%. — 16 days ago
Initially tasted like Chardonnay then evolved with an hour of air and warming. Still rich and big fruit initially but the a waxy and acidic finish. It’s very unique and I like it. Not a crowd pleaser but one to contemplate. — a year ago

2024 vintage. Château Cavalier is a Castel family estate. This is just the entry level, but you could only wish that all Provence rosés would be this good. Grapefruit, strawberry and flowers, fresh and mineral. Very dry ( 0,2 g/l residual sugar), while having a round mouthfeel. Very good value. — a month ago

Marafiance 2024 was elected "Best in Show"in the Decanter World Wine Awards 2025 and I can see why. A skilful blend of Grenache (30%), Rolle (25%), Syrah (20%), Cinsault (16%), Cabernet Sauvignon (5%), and Sémillon (4%). Strawberry, watermelon and grapefruit, mouthwatering acidity and very good mineral length. Bright and subtle. A class act and a steal for 11 euro! Abv. 12,5%. — 3 days ago
