Dominic Rippon for UK on-trade magazine The Buyer - 06/2023
Our Villa Blanche Grenache Rosé 2022 was tasted by wine writer Dominic Rippon for UK on-trade magazine The Buyer as part of a review of IGP Pays d'Oc rosé wines. He writes: “An alluring blend of 40% Grenache Gris and 60% Grenache Noir (….) Off-gris in colour, aromas are refreshingly mineral at first, opening into white flowers, apple and papaya. Peach and pineapple on the palate; delicately juicy with impressive amplitude on the finish. A great aperitif or accompaniment for Mediterranean hors d’oeuvres.”
Available in the UK from our importer Daniel Lambert Ltd (RRP £9.50).

Journalist Elizabeth Gabay MW's favourites - 04/2023
Writing about her top pics from UK wine importer Daniel Lambert's recent portfolio tasting, Elizabeth Gabay MW includes our old vine Carignan (La Fabrique) and our orange wine, Pomone:
“Calmel & Joseph’s La Fabrique 2021, an old vine Carignan, is a serious example of what this variety can achieve with fresh black pepper, paprika, blue flowers and lovely structure. Packs a serious punch above its price. Its Pomone (orange wine) has pretty peach, orange peel, vanilla and orange blossom with a touch of salinity – an easy, approachable version of an orange wine for those not ready for the more tannic versions.”
