Domaine GAVOTY
Premier Rôle blanc

Family estate of the late Bernard Gavoty, alias Clarendon, great music critic of the 60s. Its spearhead, the Clarendon cuvée, is one of the greatest whites of Provence, 100% rolle grape variety that he was the first to plant in Provence. Awarded one star in the 2027 edition of the Revue du Vin de France guide, with the following comment: “The Clarendon white wine stands head and shoulders above the rest of Provence. Its rosés are exquisitely refined, characterised by the freshness of the terroir. In recent years, the reds have been gaining in prestige whilst becoming increasingly delicious”.

Clarendon Blanc and Premier Rôle (single-vineyard selection) are made from 100 per cent Rolle (the Provençal name for Vermentino), aged in stoneware jars to preserve the freshness and vibrancy of the fruit (pear, pineapple, aniseed...). These great white wines are capable of ageing beautifully for 10 years or more, developing noble bitterness with petrol-like nuances.

Clarendon red, a blend of 95% Syrah and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. A serious red wine, full-bodied, powerful while remaining perfectly defined and balanced (no heaviness, no alcoholic sensation). Certainly well-suited to a long and enjoyable ageing process.
