The windswept Camargue isn’t the first place most wine lovers look for white wine brilliance—but that’s exactly why Charmentin is such a thrill. Mas de Valériole farms organically in this wild, salt‑kissed corner of Provence, where sandy, limestone‑rich soils and Mediterranean breezes shape a white blend that feels tailor‑made for SommSelect drinkers. Their 2024 “Charmentin – Terre de Camargue” marries 70% Rolle (Vermentino) with 30% Chardonnay, delivering a vibrant, sun‑lit profile that balances coastal freshness with just the right amount of texture. At 12.5% ABV, it’s crisp, clean, and effortlessly drinkable—the kind of bottle that disappears faster than you expect.

What makes this wine irresistible is its purity. Fermented and aged entirely in stainless steel, it captures the Camargue’s natural energy without a hint of oak to weigh it down. Expect bright citrus, white peach, and wild herbs, all wrapped in a saline snap that screams for seafood, fresh cheeses, or a simple afternoon on the patio. At $25, this is the kind of over‑performing French white we love to champion: organically grown, beautifully made, and wildly versatile. Stock up—this is your new house white.
