From: Rhone, France

Varietal: Grenache Blanc

Tasting Notes: The ‘Galets’ are reminiscent of the terroir of rounded stones known as ‘grès’. Sculpted by the moraine of the Rhône glacier in the Quaternary Period, they characterize the Costières de Nîmes in the south of the Rhône Valley. This cuvee is a clear yellow with flashes of gold. Fruity (citrus and white-fleshed fruit), floral (broom shrub), and mineral (flint) notes on the bouquet. A quick attack on the palate with citric notes with beautiful aromatic persistence. A silky and cool texture. A salty note, reminiscent of the sea breeze, makes up part of its finesse.

Pairing: Ideal pairings include Brandade de Nîmes, tapas, pineapple roast pork, and goat cheese.
