Brunel Cotes du Rhone Becassonne Blanc 07 750ml 2007 Sku: 20103
Domaine de la Bécassonne is a small estate located near the village of Sorgue in the southern Rhône Valley's Châteauneuf-du-Pape region that is solely dedicated to producing white wine. This is unusual as ninety percent of this vast region’s output is red wine. With a cool micro-climate and sandy, limestone soils this small property is ideal for producing fresh, expressive whites. André Brunel planted Bécassonne with the best varietals of the appellation: Roussanne, Clairette Blanc and Grenache Blanc. Fermentation is done in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to retain each varietals bright fruit characteristics. A blend of 55% Roussanne, 30% Grenache Blanc and 15% Clairette, this wine is bottled in early March for freshness and vibrancy. Domaine de la Bécassonne is always considered among the region’s finest white Côtes du Rhône.
