Olivier Pithon is the grandson of an Anjou wine grower, and also has a grower for a grandson in the Coteaux du Layon. Having trained among the family vines, and after completing various spells at in other vineyards (including several years in the Bordeaux region), Olivier Pithon settled in Calce, near Perpignan, in 2001. His vineyard, covering just over eight hectares, is farmed biodynamically. Olivier Pithon's wines are authentic, direct and very expressive.

This cuvée is named after the D18 by-road that winds its way along the vines between Calce and the Col de la Dona. This is a great white wine with fantastic volume and elegant bitter notes, combining finesse and subtlety and standing out through its complexity and majestic finish.
