The estate and the wine |
|
|
It’s an unusual adventure. Domaine de l’Argentière, rooted in Visan for four generations, underwent a complete transformation in 2022.
Stéphanie Cave and Johan Bartholin, having trained under some of France’s top winemakers (Pierre-Jean Villa, Alphonse Mellot, Stéphane Sérol, Henry Pellé) and enriched by international experiences, decided to refocus on a few hectares of the family vineyard to craft entirely new, signature cuvées — lively wines, fully respectful of nature, cultivated and vinified organically. |

Sourced from high-altitude vineyards, the 2023 White Khrôma (Vin de France) strikes a perfect balance between richness and freshness. A carefully measured touch of new oak enhances its character, while a blend of Grenache Blanc, Clairette, and Bourboulenc brings both purity and vibrancy. The nose reveals crisp, fresh grapes, with notes of yellow fruit and a hint of bitter almond, underpinned by a refined mineral edge. On the palate, its precise tension and bright acidity are beautifully complemented by the generosity of Grenache Blanc. This wine promises a beautiful evolution, developing even greater aromatic complexity over time. Rated 91/100 by the Selection Committee. |
