Tasting Notes

Bois des Fées is clean, clear, fresh, and refreshing. The crystal bright platinum color (with a slight green hue) quickly catches your eye. Then the friendly aromatics entice, with a delicate nose of exotic fruits (pineapple, passion fruit) and white flowers. As you sip, the wine blossoms into flavors of peach with a generous mouthfeel. The minerality and acid give this wine zip. Bois des Fées translates to "Wood of the Fairies," to honor the surrounding forest of the domaine.

Vinification

This wine is made using traditional methods. To keep the flavors fresh and alive, the wine ferments at a very cool temperature and then rests on the fine lees to develop a fantastic mouthfeel. Only 5% of this appellation (Aix-en-Provence) makes white wine.
