Wine from Rhone

With two different sub-regions in the Rhone Valley, North, and South, the Rhone region in France is on the River Valley with the sub-region in the north producing Syrah grapes and the south sub-region producing red, white, and rose wines. The Rhone region will often blend several varieties of grapes like the Chateauneuf-du-Pape. The sub region in the north will sometimes blend Syrah grapes with white wine grapes. The white wines that are produced in the area are made from Marsanne, Viognier, and Roussane grapes. The northern appellations are much smaller and produce lower quantities than the sub-regions in the south. The far north sub region of the Rhone Valley is Cote Rotie, which is known for producing some of the best Syrah wines in the world. Wines in the North Region of the Rhone are also higher priced than wines in the south. The Southern Rhone Region uses a variety of grapes with Grenache being the most popular. Chateauneuf du Pape is the leading appellation in the Southern Rhone Region in France. Both regions are different and cover a large distance. Separated between Valance and Montelimar, the slopes in the north feature a continental climate while the sub-regions in the south have rocky and sand soils with warm winters.

Grand Veneur Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc Le Miocene 2020 (half bottle)

Grand Veneur Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc Le Miocene is made from 60% Clairette, 40% Roussanne

Pale yellow colour with hints of green, aromas of white flowers (may blossom, honeysuckle).
The palate is pleasantly balanced between liveliness and roundness, which brings out characteristics of dried apricot, honey and elderberry. A Châteauneuf du Pape white displaying a great finesse.

Best between 1 and 8 years.

Soil type Coming from the single vineyard named “La Fontaine”, the plot is facing north.It is made of clay-sand and limestone. Thanks to the northern orientation, it is always very well aired. This sector allow the Roussane and Clairette to mature in great conditions without losing freshness, which we believe is key point. Winemaking & ageing Whole-bunch pressing. Vinification in stainless-steel tanks. Fermentation temperature controlled at 15°C.


Review:

"The 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape Le Miocène Blanc is the base white from this great estate and it's 60% Clairette and 40% Roussanne brought up in tank. It's a more fresh, crisp, citrus and tart pineapple-driven white that has wonderful purity and freshness as well as texture. It's a great white for readers looking to understand Southern Rhône whites as well as the incredible quality coming out of this estate."
