From the winery:
2025 Lavau Cotes du Rhone Blanc
LOCATION: This wine is derived from selected vineyards in the Vaucluse and Gard “departments” of France.
VINEYARDS AND TERROIR: Our whites are selected from vines growing in clay-limestone plains and hillsides.
GRAPE VARIETIES: Grenache blanc (60%), Viognier (40%)
PRODUCTION: After a light skin maceration, the grapes are pressed and placed in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. Fermentation is carried out at low temperature to preserve as much fruit as possible. Ageing also takes place in vats, on the fine lees, with no malolactic fermentation taking place, in order to preserve the crisp, crunchy character of this easy-drinking wine.

TASTING NOTES: A lovely nose of peaches and pears with delicate anise overtones. Delicious on the palate with lovely fat, beautiful freshness and long-lingering aromas.
SERVING AND FOOD PAIRING: Serve between 12 and 14°C, not too cold, to enable the aromas to come through. Enjoy with a fish terrine, salmon tartare, seasoned fish or even a middry goat’s cheese.

The 2025 Lavau Cotes du Rhone Blanc opens with a fresh, attractive aroma of melon, pear, lemon and some other citrus notes as well as some pleasing floral touches. It’s a nice start.
Tasting the wine reveals it to be smooth with similar flavors to the nose that are a bit more tart in the mouth. Easy to drink, this makes for a good summer white.
It ends crisp, dry and satisfying on the finish. This is a nice little wine!
