MARRENON, Les Inspirations, Private Gallery, IGP Méditerranée, Blanc
Presentation
The vineyards of Marrenon are in the Luberon massif, south of the Rhone Valley. We wanted to celebrate the contemporary artistic culture of the Luberon by reconciling the universe of wine and painting. Thus was born the Private Gallery collection. The double cut is the artistic vision of the silhouette of our mountains and the silky and modern fruitiness of wine.

Selected parcels, located on sunny clay-limestone hillsides.

On the palate
A very harmonious wine with great finesse.
