Domaine de la Solitude

Côtes-du-Rhône AOC Blanc

A classic Southern Rhône blend with Clairette bringing its zesty citrus freshness, Viognier bringing that aromatic depth of bergamot and lavender and its unctuous mouthfeel, and a splash of Grenache Blanc for its bewitching notes of honeysuckle and lime zest. Lançon's painstaking biodynamic produce is harvested in the cool of the early morning, immediately destemmed, then fermented in stainless-steel vats to preserve full aromatic freshness. The wine has a nose of citrus and apricots, a round and generous mouthfeel, and a fresh and flavourful finish. A terrific pairing partner for grilled fish, yakitori, tempuras, and poke bowls. Serve at 8ºC.
