Winemaker
Julien Mus works his family's vineyards at Domaine de la Graveirette. His biodynamic approach grew from a wish to take responsibility for the fruit from the ground onwards.

Wine
Ju de Vie Blanc brings Clairette, Grenache Blanc, Roussanne and Bourboulenc together. Fermentation in steel and time on the lees build texture without oak shaping the flavour. Yellow fruit, a little herbal lift and a rounded, gently saline palate. The wine has the generosity of a southern white, with a finish that stays fresh. Drink with roast chicken, fish baked with fennel or a plate of grilled vegetables.

Origin
Bédarrides sits in the warm southern Rhône, southeast of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Alluvial and sandy vineyard ground occurs around the cellar. Southern sunshine ripens the white grapes, making the balance of site, exposure and harvest important to their freshness.
