Andre Brunel Cotes du Rhone Blanc “La Becassonne” 2019 750ml

The grapes for this wine come from unique vineyards, particularly well-suited for these wines, that are on a hillside exposed to the rising sun but protected from the hotter setting sun by a pine forest. Its position allows the grapes to fully ripen on vines planted in clay earth with a calcareous subsoil. The terroir gives the grapes their floral and exotic characteristics, while preserving their freshness, which is rare for white Côtes du Rhone wines. 

The grapes were harvested, destemmed and pressed quickly with the resulting juice fermented in concrete vats. The wine was then aged six months to preserve the intense fruit and provide enjoyment from first sip to last.

50% Roussanne, 30% Grenache Blanc, 20% Clairette
