Côtes du Rhône White

Hints of lime and crushed stone introduce this unusually spry, light-footed expression of Côtes du Rhône Blanc.

Tasting Notes

The wine is medium to light gold in color. On the nose, the wine offers aromas of white fruits with pleasant acacia nuances. The taste is fresh and crisp, with excellent natural acidity that creates balance and a pleasant mouth-filling texture with a clean finish.

Food Pairing

Serve chilled as a perfect accompaniment for oysters, fish dishes or simply as an appetizer.

Winemaking Notes

The grapes are harvested at optimal maturity, fully de-stemmed and crushed. Light extraction with direct pneumatic press. Fermenting temperature controlled between 12 and 15 °C (54 - 59°F). Short ageing on fine lees to create roundness on the palate. After filtration the wine is bottled early to retain its freshness and aromas.
