WINE DESCRIPTION
Ogier Heritages Côtes du Rhône Blanc is a refined expression of the Rhône Valley's rich winemaking heritage. Produced by Ogier, whose century-old expertise shines through in every bottle, this wine is crafted from a blend of Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Viognier, and Bourboulenc. Sourced from select parcels on the right bank of the Rhône, specifically the Avignon and Roquemaure slopes, the vineyards feature a diverse mix of soils including terraces of pebbles, clay-limestone hillsides, sand, gravel, and loess terraces. The winemaking process includes direct pressing and cold settling to preserve aromatic complexity, followed by a slow fermentation at controlled temperatures. Aged on the lees for four months, this Côtes du Rhône Blanc boasts fresh aromas of white peach, pear, and acacia flowers, delivering a full, round palate with vibrant freshness and complexity.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Ogier Hèritages Côtes du Rhône Blanc is an exquisite white wine with a great balance of aromas and flavors.Its bright nose offers aromas of white flowers, orange peel and dried apricots, while its palate is invitingly smooth with a creamy texture. Bright flavors of fresh citrus, honey, and fresh herbs mingle with notes of white pepper and a hint of minerality. The finish is long and refreshing, leaving a pleasant lingering impression. A wonderful white wine to enjoy with grilled seafood, poultry, and light cheeses.

ORIGINS
Winery: Ogier
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
