Nose
This white cuvée from Vincent Rochette offers a fresh and delicately spicy nose of pears, vinegars, lemons and ripe pineapple combined with almonds, some fennel greens and aniseed. The wine is bright, spicy and gentle.
Palate
With the first sip, the Côtes du Rhône blanc for clarity as to the origin of the wine. The character is directly reminiscent of the southern Rhône varieties with their notes of fragrant flowers, lanolin, fennel seeds and liquorice. Add to this the juicy fruit and silky acidity as well as a light tannin. This is a strong and fresh table wine to accompany southern dishes.
