Domaine de la Ville Rouge A I'Oree du Bois 2023 Blanc (750ml) *Bio-dynamic Wine

Country/Region: France, Rhone Valley

Background:
Established in 1919, Domaine de la Ville Rouge sits on the banks of the Rhône River in the Crozes-Hermitage AOC, an area famous for producing wine with explosive, complex flavor profiles. They’ve organically farmed the vineyards since 2009 and converted to biodynamic in 2013, which helps translate the region’s authentic aromas and flavors into your glass.

Winemaking: As soon as it arrives in the cellar, the entire harvest is pressed in order to obtain better drainage of the juice. Then, the juices are refrigerated for 24 hours before settling. They are then barreled for fermentation with native yeasts. The must will finally mature for 4 months in stainless steel vats.

Grapes: 60% Viognier, 40% Chardonnay

Tasting note: The cuvée, À l'Orée du Bois, is a blended wine composed of 60% Viognier and 40% Chardonnay. Very aromatic on the nose, it develops floral and citrus notes. Full on the palate and with a lovely freshness, it finishes with delicious lemony notes.

Food Pairing: À l'Orée du Bois will be the ideal white wine for an aperitif.
