Brunel de la Gardine Côtes du Rhône Blanc 2023, 0,75 L

White wines from the Côtes du Rhône are gaining in popularity, often surprising those who typically associate the region with red wine. These white wines, crafted from the region's signature grape varieties—primarily Grenache Blanc, Clairette, and Roussanne—are truly delightful.

On the nose, they offer an abundance of light-coloured fruits, such as white peach and pear, complemented by honey notes and exotic hints. The palate is fresh, dominated by pear flavours, yet maintains a satisfying weight. The moderate acidity provides the necessary freshness, while the finish is long, with a lovely light nutty flavour.

These wines pair beautifully with white meat and fish dishes and are equally enjoyable chilled on a summer day. They present a fantastic alternative to the popular classics from Italy, offering a unique and pleasurable experience.
