A distinctive white wine with maturity and complexity. This wine has had time to develop, resulting in a mature character with mineral notes and hints of honey. Not your typical fresh, young white wine, but one with depth and character. For lovers of white wines with body and complexity. The name "Candide" (sincere) fits this honest, authentic wine perfectly.

Estate information:
A bit contrarian, even slightly anarchistic. Olivier Ramé of Maison Ventenac shows he knows exactly what he is doing. Producing wines of an unprecedented level in a relatively unknown wine region. Wines where Olivier pays no mind to regulations, focusing only on what is possible. How do I make a top-tier wine? Maison Ventenac has been Terra Vitis certified for years and is currently in conversion to organic.
