Côteaux Varois en Provence AOC, Le Pacha, Château de l’Escarelle, 2022

Catherine and Laurent, both children of winegrowers and oenology students in 1986, were destined for a life in wine. They set out to create their own brand. The Languedoc region offered the diversity they sought. With Melvyn Master, they founded “Les Jamelles,” challenging the traditional terroir-based approach with a focus on varietals. Despite limited resources, they convinced growers to collaborate. This marked the start of the Les Jamelles adventure.

This wine boasts a beautiful pale pink hue and exceptional clarity. Its aromatic profile is intensely fruity, offering enticing notes of candy, raspberry, strawberry, grenadine, and delicate floral hints of rose. On the palate, it starts with a subtle effervescence reminiscent of wines aged on lees, delivering a refreshing quality. This wine is highly appealing and easy to enjoy, characterized by a superbly balanced taste that harmoniously combines roundness and length with lively acidity and freshness.

For optimal enjoyment, serve well-chilled. It pairs wonderpiecey as an aperitif and complements a variety of dishes, including salads, braised or grilled meats, stuffed peppers, pasta, and cheeses like Cantal.
