Roberta

Roberta, named after our second daughter, is classified IGP Pays des Maures. For one simple reason: contrary to the Côtes de Provence specifications, the Protected Geographical Indication allows us to make a cuvée with Cabernet Franc, a wonderful grape variety planted by our former Bordeaux owners.

The appellation Pays de Maures owes its name to the presence of Saracens in the 8th-9th centuries. Le Massif des Maures, a small mountain range located between Fréjus and Hyères, extends from the plain of the Maures de Le Luc in Provence to Vidauban. Its highest point (Signal de la Sauvette) reaches 780 metres.

The colour is salmon with hints of grey.

The nose is expressive and intense: notes of rose and citrus fruit, and aromas of nutmeg and elderberry reinforce the aromatic freshness.

The palate is precise and well-balanced, with a fresh attack and a smooth finish, featuring peppery notes and candied aromas. The finish is elegant and flavoursome. 

Roberta is a wonderful companion for cheerful, humorous and lively discussions at the table, in the garden or at the BBQ. A lovely vin to accompany a vitamin-rich, Mediterranean or vegetarian cuisine and all types of salads, pizzas, pasta or risottos. 

To accompany Roberta with a fresh taste, we recommend cheese in its youngest and purest form, such as a raw sheep's or goat's milk tomme with tomato confit or wild garlic, an Etorki or a Chavroux. 

To finish off a pleasant feast with Roberta, try strawberries with whipped cream.
