Winemaker
Catherine and Alix Roque farm Domaine de Clovallon organically. Their willingness to look beyond conventional regional planting has grown from careful observation of the estate's cooler sites.

Wine
En Noir et Blanc combines Riesling and Pinot Noir vinified as a white. Citrus and orchard fruit, with a fine texture and a fresh, clear finish. Pinot Noir adds another dimension without turning the wine red. A white for fish, roast chicken or vegetables, particularly if you enjoy a familiar style with a slightly unexpected shape.

Origin
The vines grow near Bédarieux in the Orb valley. Altitude and a limestone escarpment soften the warmth of the surrounding Languedoc. The cooler position allows Riesling and Pinot Noir to retain freshness in a region usually associated with more southerly varieties.
