WINE DESCRIPTION
Château Beauchene Côtes du Rhône Grande Réserve Blanc is a blend of Southern Rhone varieties that include Marsanne, Grenache Blanc, and Roussanne. The vines are planted near Orange on a mixture of clay-limestone and large pebbles which gives different character to the wines creating a range of fruit flavors in the final wine. On arrival at the winery, the grapes are pressed and fermented at low temperatures to obtain bright fruit flavors and delicacy. The wines are aged for a short period in inert vessel prior to release.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Château Beauchene Côtes du Rhône Grande Réserve Blanc is a joyful, ripe fruity white wine with aromas of peach and melon, as well as notes of almonds and honeysuckle.On the palate, the wine is fresh and balanced, with good acidity and an enveloping rounded texture. The finish is dry and relatively short but pleasant with flavors of almonds, apricot and honeydew melon.

ORIGINS
Winery: Château Beauchene
Region: Rhone
The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.CUSTOMER RATING
