Overview
Château Simone Blanc is an exceptional wine produced in the AOC Palette appellation, one of the smallest and most prestigious in Provence, located near Aix-en-Provence. This family estate, run by the Rougier family since 1830, cultivates vines over 50 years old, some of them centuries old, on north-facing limestone hillsides. The blend of Château Simone Blanc 2020 includes 80% Clairette, 10% Grenache Blanc, 8% Ugni Blanc, 2% Muscat Blanc, and 2% Bourboulenc. Vinification is carried out with indigenous yeasts, without oenological additives, and aging takes place in oak barrels for 18 months, including 6 months on fine lees.

Tasting
The Château Simone Blanc 2022 presents a brilliant golden color. On the nose, it reveals complex aromas of white flowers, acacia honey, vanilla, and white-fleshed fruits. On the palate, it offers a velvety texture and aromatic richness, with notes of fresh butter, candied fruits, and minerality. The finish is long, elegant, and slightly saline, testifying to its exceptional aging potential.

Château Simone is located four kilometers from Aix-en-Provence in the commune of Meyreuil.
This former bastide of the Grands Carmes d’Aix has been owned by the Rougier family since 1830. The vineyard is a mosaic of plots in a wooded setting. Thanks to the historical renown of its wines, Château Simone is today one of the jewels of the Provençal terroir. Its reputation has carried it, under the elegant classic presentation of its original label, to the most famous tables and those of the most discerning gourmets. Today, the wines of Château Simone rank very high in the hierarchy of the region’s wines.
