Though Provence is renowned for its rosés, it also boasts exceptional white wines. Domaine Figuière is a prime example, known for producing white wines with a "Burgundian" touch, thanks to techniques imported from Chablis. The Cuvée Valérie is a mineral wine with pronounced acidity, featuring aromas of citrusy white flowers and a mineral, persistent finish. Ideal for pairing with smoked salmon and white fish dishes.
