James SucklingA floral and creamy style of white Cotes-du-Rhone. The lively acidity balances the full body nicely. Quite a zesty orange peel finish. A cuvee of roussanne and marsanne, clairette, grenache blanc.
Rhone white blends, hailing from France's esteemed Rhone Valley, epitomize the artistry of blending in winemaking. These blends combine a harmonious selection of grape varieties, including Viognier, Marsanne, Roussanne, and occasionally Grenache Blanc, each contributing distinctive traits to the final composition. Viognier offers floral aromatics and stone fruit flavors, while Marsanne adds body and depth with notes of pear and honey. Roussanne enhances the blend with acidity, freshness, and hints of citrus and spice, resulting in wines of complexity and aging potential.
Beyond the Rhone Valley, winemakers in regions like California and Australia are crafting their own interpretations of Rhone white blends, showcasing the versatility of these grape varieties in diverse terroirs. Whether enjoyed in their traditional French expressions or in new-world interpretations, Rhone white blends captivate with their balance, complexity, and ability to offer a delightful journey through the senses.
