Côtes du Rhône blanc

Discover the timeless elegance of Côtes du Rhône blanc, a luminous expression of the Rhône Valley’s most refined white grape varieties – Viognier, Grenache Blanc, and Clairette. Crafted by Vidal-Fleury, this exceptional wine originates from sun-drenched vineyards on the right bank of the Rhône, where gravelly slopes and clay-limestone terraces meet the pure Mediterranean climate.

Gently pressed and fermented at a cool temperature to preserve the full finesse of its aromas, this cuvée spends six months aging on fine lees, resulting in an exquisite balance of freshness and depth. From the very first swirl, the bouquet enchants with delicate notes of orange blossom, lively citrus, and ripe apricot. On the palate, its silky texture is gracefully lifted by a touch of minerality, creating a harmonious and vibrant tasting experience.

The long, elegant finish lingers beautifully, carrying those delicate floral notes to the very last sip. Perfect as an apéritif or paired with fine seafood, poultry, or soft cheeses, this wine captures the spirit of its terroir with sophistication and finesse.
