Harvesting began on September 2 and finished in early October. Thanks to scattered rains over the period, maturities progressed slowly. The heat of the summer made it possible to obtain a superb aromatic concentration. This vintage seduces by its aromas, its elegance and its remarkable balance.

Tasting notes:

"I loved the 2019 Côtes Du Rhône Blanc and this beauty has a rocking bouquet of caramelized white peach, honeysuckle, and white flowers. Rich, medium-bodied, nicely textured, and with nicely integrated acidity, this beauty has everything you look for in a Côtes du Rhône white." Jeb Dunnuck, October 2020
