A perfectly balanced Rhône white with luscious stone fruit, richly textured and with an intense mineral finish.
A blend that combines two of the south of France's most cherished white grape varieties: Viognier and Grenache Blanc.
A classic white to pair with a whole host of dishes but, perhaps, nothing better than roast pintard (guineafowl) and a load of seasonal veg.

Region:

Rhône - Côtes du Rhône

This blend was put together with winemaker Nicolas Rager, using two parcels of grapes from a very special vineyard in the Rhône Valley, neighbouring the famous AOC vineyards of Lirac. The area is so highly regarded that from the 2024 vintage it became the newest appellation in the Southern Rhône - Laudun - and, as such, is a bit of a scoop because that will of course add a premium! It is made up of 60% Grenache Blanc and 40% Viognier and is layered with peach and apricot fruit, lovely peppery spice and an excellent crisp and refreshing finish.

The Winemaker The Winemaker

Winemaker:

Nicolas Rager

Nicolas (or Nico, as everyone knows him) is hands-on from start to finish. At the Domaine, he oversees the vineyards, harvest, winemaking and blending. This approach creates wines that are precise, consistent and full of true Rhône character. Nico also works closely with fellow winemakers and growers across the region. He focuses on creating wines that feel authentic and pure, without losing sight of drinkability.

"I was so impressed by the quality of the grapes from this plot of vines when I was first put in touch with the grower and have watched it mature into one of the Rhône's best kept secrets. A concentrated wine with a lovely balance." - Nicolas Rager, Winemaker.
