2023 Côtes du Rhône Blanc, Les Cassagnes de La Nerthe, Domaine de la Renjarde

Château la Nerthe’s Cassagnes vines, just 15 kilometres north of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, are made up of a mosaic of micro-terroirs, planted at up to 200 metres altitude. The blend is 32% Viognier, 28% Grenache Blanc, 24% Roussanne and 16% Marsanne. This results in an inviting bouquet of green apple skin, white peach and subtle baking spices – intertwined with a hint of honeysuckle. The palate is crisp and refreshing, with a lick of wet-stone minerality balancing the rich apricot flavours, lemon pith and creamy butterscotch. Expressive and well-balanced, this is ideal for immediate enjoyment. Pair it with white fish dishes or summer salads.
