Step into the sun-soaked vineyards of Provence with a guided tasting led by Angele of Château Barbebelle. This thoughtfully curated lineup features a range of estate wines, including the expressive Fleuri Viognier, the harmonious Madeline white blend, two distinct rosés from Fleuri and Madeline, and a vibrant Fleuri red. Together, these selections offer a fresh perspective on Provençal winemaking—from delicate aromatics and bright acidity to soft texture and subtle structure—each glass capturing the warmth, landscape, and enduring tradition of the region.
