About Guilhem Durand
The Allies family has grown vines for several generations in Pomerols, along the northern edge of the Bassin de Thau. This large inland sea, on the southern part of the Pinet appellation, has a microclimate significantly influenced by cooling sea breezes which accounts for the particular expression of freshness in these whites. The vineyard is located in a rocky garrigue where the soils are made of alluvial deposits.
Charisse is fresh and zesty, with aromas of white flowers, fresh lemon and green apple.
