Tasting Notes
Pale straw in the glass with a youthful, glossy sheen, this wine opens with fragrant aromas of white flowers, grapefruit, ripe peach, and a hint of musky spice. Sauvignon Blanc gives it a fresh, zesty edge, while Viognier and Muscat add floral perfume and a rounder, more aromatic profile. On the palate, it feels crisp and supple at the same time, with citrus zest, orchard fruit, and delicate floral notes carried by a clean, refreshing finish. It is best enjoyed young for maximum aromatic brightness, though it should hold well over the next 1–2 years.

Production
Produced in the Rhône, the wine draws on the region’s warm climate and varied soils to ripen its aromatic grape varieties while preserving freshness. The grapes are typically harvested at optimal maturity to capture both fragrance and balance, then vinified with a focus on clean fruit expression and purity of style.

Food & Serving
Serve chilled at 8–10°C. It pairs beautifully with seafood, grilled fish, fresh salads, goat cheese, light poultry dishes, and Mediterranean starters; no decanting is necessary.
