Even if some believe the 2023 vintage is behind us, it’s time to rediscover our Absolu Blanc 2024, an exceptional white wine from the Coteaux d’Aix-en-Provence. This 2024 vintage confirms what we had hoped for: finesse, elegance, and character – all the hallmarks of an exceptional white wine worthy of the finest Provençal references.
Characteristics and winemaking of an exceptional white wine: Absolu Blanc 2024
Absolu Blanc 2024 is a subtle blend of Rolle and Sauvignon Blanc, grown in Provence on clay-limestone soils with a carefully managed yield of 40 hl/ha. The estate is certified Haute Valeur Environnementale (HVE) Level 3, a sign of deep respect for both the environment and the terroir. The winemaking process includes a meticulous maceration, fermentation, and ageing in French oak barrels, followed by bottling at the estate to preserve the purity of its aromas. The result is a truly aromatic white wine that combines richness and freshness.
Tasting notes and awards: an exceptional white wine that stands out
To the eye, it shines with a pale robe and golden highlights. On the nose: vanilla, almond paste, candied chestnut, and a touch of exotic fruit such as pineapple. On the palate, Absolu Blanc 2024 is silky, dense, with generous body and a lingering saline finish. Its accolades speak for themselves: a gold medal at the Concours des Vins de Provence, a silver medal at the Concours des Vins d’Avignon, and recognition at multiple levels in the specialist press. This is indeed a unique white wine, both for its aromatic profile and its ability to combine seriousness with sheer pleasure.
Why not stay with the 2023 vintage: embracing renewal with this exceptional white wine
Some clients tell us they are satisfied with the 2023 vintage, because “it’s still good.” Yet the 2024 vintage deserves particular attention: it is more expressive, deeper, and more accomplished. With this in mind, our proposal of €150,000 to be achieved over nine months for this single 2024 vintage – both in rosé and in Absolu Blanc – remains extremely reasonable given what it represents.
Serving suggestions and pairings to savour Absolu Blanc
Serve at 10–12°C to reveal the best of its freshness and structure. It pairs beautifully with flambéed prawns, seafood, grilled langoustine, or a matured cheese. A perfect opportunity to reconnect with a wine that never ceases to surprise.
In summary, Absolu Blanc 2024 is not just another cuvée: it is an exceptional white wine to be rediscovered now. Even if the 2023 vintage feels over for some, 2024 brings a new dimension to what we love most in Provençal whites. Come and taste it – it speaks for itself.
