WINE DESCRIPTION
Domaine du Colombier Crozes-Hermitage Blanc is a white wine produced by the renowned winery Domaine du Colombier in the Crozes-Hermitage appellation of the Rhône Valley. The vineyards are located on steep slopes with granite and limestone soils, which impart a unique minerality to the wine. The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully selected to ensure only the best fruit is used. The winemaking process involves fermentation and aging in both, stainless steel tanks and larger oak barrels. The resulting wine is a beautifully balanced blend of Marsanne and Roussanne grapes, with aromas of white flowers, citrus, and honey, and a crisp, refreshing finish.

ORIGINS
Winery: Domaine du Colombier
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
