Wine Advocate

The 2024 Cotes du Rhone Blanc from Vidal-Fleury is already showing with notable charm. Offering up aromas of ripe pear, white peach and citrus oil mingled with acacia blossom and a discreet almond nuance, it’s medium-bodied, supple and satiny, with a juicy core of fruit underpinned by bright acids. Fermented in stainless steel and matured briefly on its fine lees, it concludes with a clean, mouthwatering finish. This is a harmonious white Rhône that will drink well on release yet retain interest for several years.

Description

It has brilliant gold colour, delicate fruity nose with apricot, floral and citrus characters. Dry but rich; round and powerful in the mouth, with lots of fruity flavours and a long finish with honey undertones.

Pairings

Ideal as an aperitif, or paired with fresh seafood, light poultry, salads, and soft cheeses.
