The palate is dry and lightly built, the red and stone fruit carried on brisk acidity to a clean, refreshing finish.

Cuvée Marie-Christine comes exclusively from an 89-hectare Cru Classé parcel on the plains of Pierrefeu, where mineral-rich red clay and limestone drain well and the salty Mistral cools the vines from a sea only a few miles away; the estate holds Haute Valeur Environnementale certification. The grapes were picked at the beginning of September and destemmed immediately, the berries gently pressed and the selected juice cooled to 13°C; after a static settling it fermented in stainless steel at 15 to 18°C for ten days, with racking and blending at the end of the year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFood and drinking\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe at 8–10°C.

Sealed with a Nomacorc synthetic closure.
