Round three of our Sunday Sippers Series. This week we feature a little trip to France to balance Saturday’s trip to Italy. Château Petit Sonnailler is situated in the heart of Provence near Aurons, a small typical Provence village. The winery dates from the 10th century with the tower added later in the 12th century. The 45-hectare vineyard is located on chalky terrain and is farmed in the traditional way with several ploughings throughout the seasons. The vines are grown between 250 and 290 meters altitude on the North slopes, under the magnificent Provençal sky. Their words not ours, but no matter – come try these lovely French lovelies.
