The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Nestled in the heart of Provence and awarded 2 stars in the RVF Guide, Château Simone stands out as an elite estate. Frequently named the best white wine of the Mediterranean, it embodies the most refined, deep, and complex style in all of Provence. The red is equally impressive, beautifully capturing the generous and robust spirit of the terroir.

Today, Château Simone is undoubtedly the most famous and sought-after Provence estate among enthusiasts. Free from technical constraints, it consistently produces terroir-driven wines that are vibrant and precise, celebrating the myriad aromas of the south and offering sublime gastronomic pairings.
Wine Consistently serene and delightful, the 2021 White Palette showcases a sublime Clairette, revealing fruity and toasty notes in a style of rare elegance. The wisdom of ripe grapes from old vines translates into a perfectly balanced palate, enveloped by exquisite freshness. With a little patience, it will gain complexity over the next fifteen years. Without a doubt, this is the finest white wine from Provence, rated 98/100 by Bettane+Desseauve.
Vinification Hand-harvested, lightly crushed, pressed and lightly settled.
