The Winemaker “Note of citrus, fresh almond and white flowers. The palate is fresh with a mineral finish.”

Grenache blanc 90%; Roussanne 10%

Luc Baudet, renowned winemaker and oenologue from Costières de Nîmes, lauched this new range of wines in 2016. After putting Château Mas Neuf on the wine map as one of the very best Costières de Nîmes, Luc Baudet decided to start a new challenge. When he sold Château Mas Neuf, he kept 7 hectares of the most promising terroir of the estate, and named it "Le Clos des Centenaires", it is at the heart of Luc's new adventure, who also collaborates with winemakers of other appellations to create a range of signature wines.

The Rhone Valley is one of France's key wine regions and is divided neatly by a gap of about 25 miles (40km). Wines from the northern part of the valley tend to be Syrah-dominant (Hermitage and Cote Rotie being the most notable examples), white wines from the southern Rhone are more commonly blends, with Grenache playing a more dominant role.

Southern Rhone White Blend is a blanket term used to describe the various combinations of white wine grapes used in the southern half of the Rhone Valley. The principal varieties involved in a white wine from the southern Rhone are any combination of Grenache Blanc, Marsanne, Roussanne, Viognier, Ugni Blanc, Clairette, Bourboulenc and Picpoul.
