Guillaume Gonnet is not your average Rhône winemaker! aLONG with his Australian wife Kelly, Guillaume IS Pursuing biodynamics wherever possible, allowing his fruit to express itself freely through hands-off winemaking and displaying his fascination for the varying soils of the Rhône,
The vines are around 40 to 50 years old, with a 15 to 20 day fermentation and maceration in stainless steel with natural yeasts.
The result is perhaps in my opinion one of the most underatted wines in the Rhone - this Cote Du Rhone Blanc is fruity, with aromas and flavours of grapefruit, apricot, peach and citrus with white floral notes, A highly expressive and complex nose, nice acidity and minerality in the mouth. A lovely saltiness at the end of the pallet. long lasting refreshing, medium bodied and dry its a real treat. lovely as a quaffer but works well with Seafood, chicken, rabbit, fresh cheese.
