"Made from Grenache Blanc (80%) and Grenache Gris grapes, aged in reused barrels, this is a round, rich, and smooth white wine with a mineral finish." (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2019) This round and smooth white wine pairs perfectly with white meats in sauce and Mediterranean dishes. A beautiful white wine for fine dining!
