With cheese

Tomme d'Arles Our pick Androuet quotes Larousse saying Camargue ewe's fresh cheeses are seasoned with thyme and bay. An Alpilles white raised in old oak, concrete or steel brings fennel, dried apricot and a saline edge that echo the herbs and freshen the paste.

History

Cailloutis takes its name from the rocky alluvial soils of the Alpilles foothills. The Rolle-Roussanne blend is one of the estate's white cuvees and is bottled as IGP Alpilles since Rolle is not permitted in the Les Baux AOC.
