Winemaking notes
Each grape variety is vinified separately to develop their own
characteristics. Fermentation lasts 3 to 4 weeks and there is no
malolactic fermentation performed so as to retain bright acidity.
Each grape variety spent 6 months maturing in tank before being
blended together.
Viticultural notes
This Côtes du Rhône white is a blend of several varieties, Grenache
Blanc (60%) along with Viognier and Roussanne.
The grapes are sourced from clay and particularly limestone
vineyards in the Vaucluse and Gard regions of the Valley.
Tasting notes
This fresh, well-balanced wine offers enticing aromas of white
flowers along with fruit notes of peach and pear.
Pairing notes
We recommend serving at between 10° and 12° C (60° to 65°F)
on its own or with white meat dishes (veal, pork, chicken), seafood
and summer salads. Delicious now, it can be enjoyed up to 3 or 4
years of age.
