Located in the foothills of the Massif des Maures, the stunning Grand Cros estate is like something out of a feelgood Romcom, with the old manor house and vineyards surrounded by pine trees, olive groves and dry stone terraces. Owned by the Faulkner family since 1989, they're a traditional family run outfit who bowled us over with their integrity and humble genius, foregoing the marketing bumph of some of their neighbours to produce honest and delicious wines.
Sensory features: A bright light yellow with beautiful shades of green. On the notes a citrus bouquet with and some notes of crushed apple. On the palate, it starts out discreetly, then expands well with persistent white fruity apple pear side, underlined by that citrusy spiciness, some notes of citrus zest. Fresh, rounded and mellow acidity. Lovely balance.
