Tasting
Fine, elegant and embracing, Fleur de Gabbro
expresses itself with ample fruity and smoky notes
enhanced by a mineral background. It evolves towards a refreshing finish, where lemon and citrus notes
amplify the depth of this cuvée.
Enjoy as an aperitif with fresh goat’s cheese on toast.
Full-bodied and salty, it will enhance fish in sauce and
flower-flavoured cheeses.

The soil
An altered form of magmatic rock called ‘gabbro’ is
the key to the exceptional depth of these wines.

Manual harvesting in the best conditions. Immediate
pneumatic pressing. Grape juice received by gravity
without pumping. Fermentation lasts 20 days with temperature control. Aeration on the second day of
fermentation to multiply the indigenous yeasts. Aged

RVF Green Guide 2025
“La Tour Gallus 2023, a beautiful example of straight Melon, sets the tone for these subtle, nuanced whites. Fleur de Gabbro takes things a step further in terms of exoticism and richness, with the same beautifully sculpting bitter notes on the finish. A magnificent expression of the terroir in the Gorges 2019, which seems much younger than its age.”
