Chateau Margui Coteaux Varois en Provence Blanc 2021
Domaine de Margüi can trace its roots back to Roman times through ruins and amphorae discovered in 2002. In 2017, the Domaine was fully renovated and became part of the Skywalker Vineyards collection. Château Margui, the Domaine's emblematic Cuvée, boasts a nose of white cherries and vine peaches, punctuated by light floral touches of honeysuckle. Dry in profile, it is smooth and silky on the palate with a polished texture, while the acidity is juicy, offering a wonderful sensation of freshness.

Taste
A nose of white cherries and vine peaches, punctuated by light floral touches of honeysuckle. Dry in profile, it is smooth and silky on the palate, with a polished texture. The acidity is juicy, offering a sensation of freshness characteristic of a cool terroir. Elegant with chewy and zesty notes. The finish of white peach and flowers makes it refreshing with a nice aromatic persistence.
Grape: Rolle (Vermentino)
Ageing: 5 months, 20% of which are in French Oak barrels (Tonnellerie Saury, medium heating) and 80% in stainless steel tanks.
About the Producer
Tracing its roots back to Roman times, through ruins and amphorae discovered in 2002, Chateau Margui has had a long and distinguished history. In the 17th century, the estate was owned by a family from Aix-en-Provence and in 1784, they built the main house in the distinctive style of the bastides aixoises of that day: a lime-coated facade, nearly 6,500 square feet spanning three floors, all connected by a magnificent staircase, with many windows opening onto the French formal garden.
In 2017, the Domaine de Margüi was made part of the Skywalker Vineyards collection: The breathtaking natural surroundings and enchanted ambiance are quite akin to those found at Skywalker Vineyards in Marin County, California, and Viandante del Cielo in Passignano sul Trasimeno, Italy.
Today, Château Margüi boasts 37 acres of vineyards, 12 acres of olive groves, and 160 acres of forest, home to century-old conifers and a wide variety of deciduous trees.
The property was fully renovated, in keeping with Georges Lucas’s vision of a pure, preserved Provence, to become an estate exemplifying excellence in every way, including in its exceptional wines.
