Côtes du Rhône-Villages Blanc
For our white Côtes du Rhône-Villages we chose a blend of 20% Marsanne, 20% Roussanne, and a whacking 60% of the fashionable and flavoursome Viognier. A 'green harvest' - deliberate removal of excess unripe bunches of grapes - in summer, followed by hand picking and careful grape selection keeps the yield down to a very low 42 hectolitres per hectare. Low yields always repay with quality wine and this white has a fresh, floral and fruity bouquet reminiscent of white flowers and peaches. It is dry and refreshing and is delicious on its own or with grilled fish.
