Fresh, aromatic, and beautifully balanced. It opens with notes of lemon verbena, lime zest, green apple, and white peach, followed by hints of wild herbs and floral undertones from the Roussanne and Clairette. On the palate, it is crisp and vibrant, with citrus and stone fruit flavors, a subtle salinity, and a fine mineral backbone.

More About The Winery
Set in the heart of the Alpilles, Domaine Les Terres Blanches offers a distinctive expression of Provence through the rugged and sun-drenched terroirs of Les Baux-de-Provence. This appellation is known for its dramatic limestone landscapes, where vineyards coexist with olive groves and wild garrigue.
The soils, composed of limestone, clay, and rocky outcrops, combined with a dry Mediterranean climate and the influence of the mistral wind, create ideal conditions for producing wines of concentration, freshness, and aromatic intensity.
The estate works with classic southern grape varieties such as Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Cinsault, crafting wines that reflect both the warmth of the region and a refined sense of balance. Rosés are typically pale, precise, and refreshing, while the reds offer ripe dark fruit, herbs, spice, and structured tannins.
A defining feature of Les Baux-de-Provence is its strong commitment to organic and biodynamic viticulture, with many estates embracing sustainable practices to preserve the natural ecosystem of the Alpilles.
Domaine Les Terres Blanches captures the essence of Provence beyond the seaside clichés—wines of character, minerality, and Mediterranean identity, shaped by a wild and authentic landscape.
