  • Terroir
    Located above the cliffs of La Clape where they come closest to the sea, the vines of Château Rouquette, facing south, receive the beneficial sea freshness. The 420 hectares of scrubland and pine forest of the domain, carefully maintained and rich in Mediterranean scents, surround the 50 hectares of vines "en clairières."
  • Vinification and maturation
    Vinification takes place at low temperature under rigorous thermal control.
  • Features
    A pioneer in the white grape varieties of an old grape variety, Bourboulenc, Château Rouquette sur Mer managed a superb performance here. In blending with roussanne, for its fleshy complementarity, this Arpège cuvée shows, on the nose and in the mouth, its notes of almonds, broom and white flowers all in freshness. Pretty fine and refined minerality ... an airy wine!
  • Food Pairings
    Ideal with a Caesar salad with grilled shrimp, grilled oysters, smoked salmon with honey sauce or chicken with ginger and pineapple.
