Overview
The Côtes du Rhône Saint-Esprit Blanc is a blend of Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Bourboulenc, and Viognier varietals from the right bank vineyards of the southern Rhône Valley. The Grenache adds structure, while the Clairette and Bourboulenc contribute to the wine’s fine aromatic quality.
Climate
The climate is Mediterranean and influenced by the “mistral” wind, a strong wind that benefits the vine’s growth. The region also has seasonal rains and hot, exceptionally sunny weather during the summer months.
Technical Information
Varietals: Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Bourboulenc, and Viognier
Soil Composition: Granite
Winemaking
This Côtes du Rhône is vinified through the traditional method. Grapes are harvested at the peak of their maturity and acidity balance. After pressing and cold settling for 24 hours, the musts are racked and fermented in stainless steel tanks at a maximum temperature of 64°F. Malolactic fermentation is avoided to preserve natural balance, freshness, and enhance finesse. The blend is stored in stainless steel tanks until bottling. Before bottling, the wine is lightly fined and filtered for stability.
Tasting Notes
The wine has a golden straw hue with green tinges. The main aromas are reminiscent of white flowers and yellow fruit, with touches of exotic and citrus fruit. On the palate, the wine is alert, seductively suave, and fresh.
Food Pairing
This wine pairs well with grilled fish, waterfowl, or can be enjoyed as an aperitif.
