The Côtes du Rhône Villages Blanc from Rotem & Mounir showcases the same exceptional philosophy of pairing high quality, low yielding fruit with exceptional terroir. After 18 months of undisturbed fermentation, the resulting wine is bottled unfiltered and unfined, predominantly made up of Grenache Blanc with a touch of Roussanne, Marsanne, Bourboulenc, Clairette, and Viognier grapes. The nose is intensely perfumed and vibrant, with notes of citrus, flowers, and a touch of saltiness. On the palate, the intensity of flavors and structure is balanced beautifully by a refreshing finish.
"A stylish, intriguing white, with a core of warm apple and melon backed by flinty minerality, shortbread and smoked acacia. Creamy and mouthfilling, with good tension and length, revealing a saline edge from beginning to end. Grenache Blanc, Marsanne, Bourboulenc and Roussanne. Drink now through 2026."
