2024 Chateau l’Ermite d’Auzan Auzan White
Tasting Notes
Light straw with green tints. The nose bursts with ripe pear, white flowers, and a hint of melon. On the palate, it’s silky and fresh, revealing orchard fruit, herbal nuances, and a subtle creamy texture. A mineral-tinged finish brings energy and refinement.
About Chateau l’Ermite d’Auzan
A historic estate in the Costières de Nîmes, on the Southern edge of the Rhône Valley-founded by 11th-century hermits of the Sainte Cécile d’Estagel Abbey-is now led by the fourth-generation Castillon family. Overlooking the Mediterranean, the estate benefits from sun-soaked, south-facing vineyards planted on galets roulés—pebbly soils that bring freshness and complexity to the wines. Under the leadership of Jerome Castillon, the estate has embraced organic and biodynamic farming, producing elegant, expressive wines that reflect both the region’s heritage and a modern, environmentally conscious approach.
