Tasting notes
The 2023 Domaine de l'Ile Porquerolles Côtes de Provence Blanc displays a pale, brilliant straw hue. The nose is expressive, revealing delicate aromas of white peach, grapefruit zest, and a hint of garrigue, underpinned by a subtle saline minerality. On the palate, it is remarkably fresh and vibrant, with a precise acidity framing flavours of citrus, green apple, and a nuanced herbal complexity. The finish is clean, persistent, and invigorating, echoing the wine's coastal origins.
