WINE DESCRIPTION
Clos du Mont-Olivet Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc is a premium white wine produced by the renowned winery Clos du Mont-Olivet in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation of the Rhône Valley. The vineyards are located on the rocky soils of the Montalivet hill, which provides excellent drainage and mineral-rich soil for the vines. The wine is made from a blend of traditional Rhône grape varieties, including Grenache Blanc, Clairette, and Bourboulenc, which are carefully harvested and fermented in stainless steel tanks and oak barrels to preserve their delicate aromas and flavors. The resulting wine is a complex and elegant expression of the terroir, with notes of white flowers, citrus, and honey, and a long, refreshing finish.

ORIGINS
Winery: Clos du Mont-Olivet
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
