Domaine de Beaurenard Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc is a white wine produced by Domaine de Beaurenard in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation of the Rhône Valley. The biodynamically managed vineyards are located on the rocky soils of the region, which impart a unique ripeness to the wines by reflecting the sun's heat back into the grapes. The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully selected to ensure only the highest quality fruit is used. The winemaking process involves gentle pressing to avoid bitterness, and fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by aging on the lees to enhance the wine's complexity and texture. The resulting wine is a beautifully balanced blend of Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, and Clairette, with notes of white flowers, citrus, and honey. It is a perfect match for seafood, poultry, and creamy cheeses.

ORIGINS
Winery: Domaine de Beaurenard
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.
