Description
Despite being renowned for its red wines, the southern Rhône valley has a rich history of producing white wines, which locals (here and there) often indulge in on summer evenings. La Fleur Solitaire is a Côtes du Rhône made from traditional white grape varieties unique to the region. Since its inception as a limited release from seven barrels in 2009, this wine has become a coveted addition to any connoisseur’s collection.
A classical blend of Grenache Blanc, Viognier, Roussane, Marsanne, Bourboulenc and Clairette so typical of the region. With just under a third of the juice vinified and matured for six months in French oak barrels, there is just enough texture, complexity, and creaminess to satisfy even the sternest of wine buffs (and certainly more exciting than a Sauvignon Blanc).
This wine is versatile, pairing well with grilled fish or a casual aperitif with friends. A classic blend of different grapes, aged in French oak barrels for added texture and complexity. Perfect for even the most discerning wine connoisseurs.
Tasting Note: A proper white Côtes du Rhône that’s fresh and medium-bodied. The nose is pretty and delicate, just hints of hedgerow flowers. The flavours are nuanced and refined rather than overt. Careful use of oak adds texture to this very drinkable white.
