ABOUT THE WINE
Situated in the Herault region, close to the Mediterranean Sea, the Domaine de Mont Auriol once was a Royal Estate and has belonged to the Sarret family for thirteen generations. Of the 350 hectares of the estate, 110 hectares are planted with vines. The vineyard is spread across a chain of hills that face south over the Golfe du Lion. The vines grow on the canopy. No herbicides are used, but organic fertilizers with biodynamic culture. A mechanical harvest is carried out and total de-stemming. Maceration is made in stainless steel, concrete and fibre glass vats. All wines benefit from being bottled at the domain using our own on site plant.
TASTING NOTES
Mesmerising pale colour with green tints. The elegant mouth gives pink grapefruit and citrus.
FOOD PAIRING
Ideal as an aperitif, it will go well with crustacean and raw fish. A must try with corn of cob.

ABOUT THE WINE
In 2007 Marceau (Marc) Cellier decided to retire and hand over his vineyards to his three children (Ludovic, Julien and Benoit) and Nathalie (Ludovic's wife). They are the 8th generation of the Cellier family to work the vine and to make top class Rhone wines. Domaine les 3 Cellier was thus born on August 1st, 2007, with the breakup of Domaine Saint Benoit. The Cellier family retained 13.4 hectares of wines, all within the Chateauneuf-du-Pape appellation.
TASTING NOTES
Production is very low, less than 100 cases per vintage. This wine has a pale yellow colour tinted with a hint of green. The distinctive personality of Roussanne gives a powerful and complex wine, harmoniously balanced, with aromas of flowers and spice - paprika and fenugreek. The mouth is powerful but pleasant with a final soft and unctuous, yet dry, finish. This wine can be kept in a good cellar for 8 to 10 years.
FOOD PAIRING
Perfect with scallops or ravioli stuffed with goat cheese and honey. It should be drunk at a temperature between 12° to 14° C - a tad less cold than other white wines.
FRIARWOOD SAYS
Less well-known than the red wines from this appellation, the whites are something of a hidden gem; full-bodied and wonderfully complex, this is a prime example of how utterly beautiful they can be.
