WINE DESCRIPTION
E. Guigal Crozes-Hermitage Blanc is a white wine produced by the renowned winemaker E. Guigal in the Crozes-Hermitage appellation of the Rhône Valley. The vineyards are located on steep slopes with granite and alluvial soils, which impart a unique minerality to the wine. The grapes are hand-harvested and fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve the freshness and fruitiness of the wine. The final product is a crisp and refreshing white wine with aromas of citrus and white flowers, and a subtle hint of oak. This wine is a perfect match for seafood, salads, and light dishes.

ORIGINS
Winery: E. Guigal
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
