The Story: Crafted by Vins Breban, a family-run house deeply rooted in the heart of Provence, La Tonnelle is grown in the sun-drenched yet cool, elevated hillsides of the Southern Alps. The estate blends traditional environmentally respectful viticulture with a modernized cellar, ensuring that the fruit maintains its ultimate aromatic freshness from the vine straight to the bottle.
Why You'll Love Me: It delivers that highly sought-after, classically pale Provençal elegance at an incredibly approachable price point. It bursts out of the glass with highly perfumed, floral aromas alongside crisp notes of white strawberry, watermelon rind, and grapefruit zest. On the palate, it is beautifully balanced, light-bodied, and finishes with a dry, zesty citrus-driven snap that makes it immensely refreshing.
