WINE DESCRIPTION
Gilles Robin Crozes-Hermitage Cuvée Les Marelles Blanc is a premium white wine produced by Gilles Robin, a renowned winemaker from the Crozes-Hermitage appellation in the northern Rhône Valley. The wine is made from grapes grown in the Les Marelles vineyard, which is known for its limestone and clay soils that impart a unique minerality to the wine. The winemaking process involves gentle pressing of the grapes and fermentation in oak barrels, which adds complexity and richness to the wine. The resulting wine is a beautifully balanced and elegant expression of the Marsanne and Roussanne grape varieties, with notes of white flowers, honey, and citrus fruits. This wine is a must-try for anyone looking for a high-quality white wine from the Rhône Valley.

ORIGINS
Winery: Gilles Robin
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
