WINE DESCRIPTION
Domaine l'Or de Line Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc is a distinguished organic white wine crafted in the renowned Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation. This exceptional cuvée blends six grape varieties, including the rare Picardan. The vineyards feature three distinct soil types: clay-limestone with large siliceous pebbles for Grenache and Picpoul, sandy soils for Clairette, Picardan, and Roussanne, and clay soils for Bourboulenc, each contributing to the wine's power, freshness, aromatic complexity, and balance. The grapes are meticulously hand-harvested and sorted, with yields limited to 35hl/ha to ensure concentration. Vinification is carried out at low temperatures to preserve delicate aromas, followed by aging in tanks. Bottled on the estate, this wine showcases an elegant, aromatic profile with a refined balance, embodying the unique terroir and meticulous craftsmanship of Domaine l'Or de Line.

ORIGINS
Winery: Domaine l'Or de Line
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
