Château l'Ermite d'Auzan Gavroche Blanc de Noirs is a remarkably unique, expressive, and gastronomy-focused white wine produced in the Costières de Nîmes appellation of the southern Rhône Valley. Château l'Ermite d'Auzan is celebrated for its organic, biodynamic approach and forward-thinking winemaking that honours local terroir. Crafted as a Blanc de Noirs, this wine is made by gently pressing dark-skinned red grapes without skin contact, resulting in a white wine with exceptional structural depth, delicate berry aromatics, and vibrant Mediterranean freshness.

Why You'll Love It

This wine stands out for its intriguing duality, seamlessly combining the crisp freshness of a white wine with the textural weight and subtle red fruit nuances of a red grape. Produced without added sulphites to preserve pure fruit expression, it delivers a clean, authentic, and vibrant tasting experience. Matured carefully to retain its bright energy, it offers an appealing profile of crisp red apple, wild berries, and white blossom, grounded by a savoury mineral core that makes it an extraordinary food companion.

Vineyard & Production

The grapes are organically and biodynamically grown on southward-facing slopes featuring rounded quartzite pebbles known as gress, overlying iron-rich clay soils near the Mediterranean coast. The red grapes are hand-harvested early in the morning to preserve natural acidity and cool temperatures. Upon arrival at the cellar, the whole bunches undergo immediate, gentle pneumatic pressing without skin maceration to extract clear juice. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled vessels using natural yeasts, followed by aging on fine lees to build mid-palate volume before bottling with minimal intervention.

Tasting Notes

In the glass, it displays a pale yellow-gold colour with subtle copper-pink reflections. The nose is fresh, lifted, and intriguing, opening with scents of wild redcurrants, white peach, and crisp red apples, interwoven with nuances of citrus peel, spring flowers, and crushed limestone minerality. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, textured, and delightfully refreshing, delivering a fine balance between ripe orchard fruit flavours and a firm, savoury structure, leading into a long, crisp, and clean finish.

Perfect Pairings

With its unique weight, vibrant acidity, and subtle berry undertones, this Blanc de Noirs excels alongside a wide array of savoury dishes. It pairs magnificently with pan-seared sea bass, roasted pork tenderloin with herbs, grilled poultry, and charcuterie boards. It is also an outstanding match for seafood risotto, goat's cheese tarts, roasted root vegetables, and mild Asian-inspired dishes featuring ginger and lemongrass.
