The wine has a pale straw color with brilliant reflection. In the nose, it displays great aromatics, mainly citrus fruit. The palate is well balanced, with a lot of finesse and persistence.
Delicious when paired with seafood (seashell and fish). It is also great by itself as an aperitif.
"With a beautiful brilliant color, this white is a real delicacy. On the nose, scents of citrus fruits and greengage plum combine with a touch of toasted almond. Lively on the attack, echoeing the aromas of the bouquet, the palate is balanced between richness and vivacity, with the addition of pretty mineral notes."
"Pretty notes of pears, lemon blossom, and baking spiced emerge from the 2019 Côtes Du Rhône Blanc and it’s a charming, medium-bodied, lightly textured white that’s a gulpable as they come. Staying clean and nicely balanced, enjoy this straightforward white over the coming year or so."
