And they do the first part of that aging themselves. This 2019 spent 12 months in old oak barrels, followed by a further five years in a concrete tank before being bottled in May 2025. Patient, unhurried, and deeply considered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe blend is Chardonnay, Muscat à Petit Grains, Grenache Blanc, Rolle, and Roussanne — all direct-pressed and co-fermented. The vines are approximately 35 years old, rooted in silty clay over a subsoil of blue marl, a combination that brings both weight and a quiet, stony tension to the wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Milans describe it beautifully: \"Exceptionally fresh. Aromas of fennel and garrigue dominate the nose and palate, with a long, stony finish that underscores its minerality.\" We also love longtime cellar master Sébastien Xavier's reaction when we tasted it with him last year. He simply said: \"It gives me goosebumps.\" He has helped make this wine for 20 years. That says everything.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the nose it opens with layered citrus — lemon peel, preserved lemon, and grapefruit — alongside white peach, pear, and subtle floral notes. With time in the glass, more complex tones emerge: almond, chamomile, beeswax, and a faint saline, Mediterranean herbal edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe palate is medium-bodied with a broad but defined texture, carried by a firm line of acidity that keeps everything focused. There is both volume and precision, with a gentle phenolic grip adding shape through the mid-palate. The finish is long, dry, and slightly saline, with a mineral persistence that speaks clearly of its Provençal origins.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eApproachable now with air, it has the frame to evolve and reward patience. One of the best vintages of Le Grand Blanc we have tasted.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Appellance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50156016828609,"sku":null,"price":115.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0843\/3428\/0897\/files\/LEGRANDBLANC.webp?v=1776986557"}],"url":"https:\/\/appellance.com\/collections\/rolle.oembed","provider":"Appellance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
