Product notes

A refined southern Rhône white with complexity and balance. Best served at 11–12 °C. Perfect with marinated fish, veal or exotic dishes. Cellaring potential: up to 5 years.

Production notes

“La Vallée” is made from Clairette, Roussanne, Viognier and White Grenache, grown on clay soils in the Gayère Valley (Cairanne). Grapes are hand-harvested, gently pressed, and fermented in stainless steel at low temperature. 30% of the blend is aged in new oak barrels (9 to 11 months), the rest on fine lees in tanks to retain freshness.

Tasting notes

Pale yellow color with golden tints. The nose shows white flowers (honeysuckle, iris), fennel, white peach and honey. On the palate, it is round and lively with a fine mineral tension. The finish reveals hazelnut and dried floral notes, bringing elegance and length.
