Hautes Pierres Blanc 2008
A rich and lavish wine that already shows a complete fruit maturity. A full body based upon a warm and charming structure. This Cotes de Ventoux is very seductive. Guide des Vins Gault et Millau 2011
Brilliant gold colour. Refined, woody, vanilla nose of white flowers and white fruits. The palate is clean, fat and fresh with good balance between the fruity and woody aromas, which impart fullness. A sophisticated white wine for serious food 87/100, Guide des Vins Gilbert et Gaillard 2011

Born of the red earth of this vineyard managed since 2006 by Michèle and Patrick Follea this Roussanne and Grenache blend is immediately defined on the nose by its distinctive toasted and roasted aromas, balanced by a lovely freshness on the palate. A delightful liveliness emphasizes a rich and full palate with hints of coconut and preserved fruits. A Ventoux thoroughbred. Guide Hachette 2011, 1* star
