WINE DESCRIPTION

Château Simone Palette Blanc is a highly sought-after white wine produced by Château Simone, a renowned winery located in the Palette appellation of Provence, France. The vineyard features a unique terroir with limestone and clay soils, and the grapes are hand-harvested and sorted to ensure only the highest quality fruit is used. The winemaking process involves a blend of traditional and modern techniques, including fermentation in oak barrels and aging on the lees for added complexity. The resulting wine is a beautifully balanced blend of several grape varieties, with notes of citrus, white flowers, and a hint of minerality. It is a perfect pairing for seafood, poultry, and creamy cheeses.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Château Simone Palette Blanc offers an inviting nose of white floral notes, lemons, and tangerines, with a hint of almond.On the palate, the wine is light and fresh, with bright acidity and flavors of citrus, pear, and white peach. The finish is clean and crisp, with a nice, long finish. This is a great example of a white wine from Provence that is sure to please.

ORIGINS

Winery: Château Simone

Region: Provence

Nestled in the south of France, Provence is a Mediterranean paradise for wine lovers. With its stunning landscapes, mild climate, and rich history, Provence as a wine region is more than just the home to refreshing holiday rosé wines. The history of winemaking in Provence dates back to the ancient Greeks, who first planted vines in the region in 600 BC. Since then, the region has become renowned for its unique terroir and its production of high-quality wines. In the 19th century, the region experienced a period of decline due to the phylloxera epidemic, but it has since recovered and is now one of the most important wine regions in France.
