Made from 80% Clairette 17% Grenache Blanc & 3% Roussanne, this excellent southern Rhône white is a real stand out amongst its peers. None of that slightly rich sickly quality exists in this wine, instead you get brilliant clean freshness from start to finish, whilst still giving you those complex flavours. White peach, pear, fennel and acacia. It is medium bodied with a generous mouthfeel underpinned by a fine zesty core of acidity that helps keep the wine fresh and lively. L&S (May 2026)

Certified organic.Focused, energetic nose. Depth of fruit and a light nutty character. TheClairette presumably provides the freshness and the Bourboulenc that iodinequality. Interesting, refreshing wine that could be drunk as an aperitif or withfood. Good depth of flavour with oak in the background. Very unlike whitesfrom further south in the Côtes du Rhône appellation.
