SOUTHERN RHONE VALLEY, FRANCE
Marsanne, Viognier, RoussanneDomaine de la Mavette - Rhône - Gigondas - Sablet (France)
Located at the foot of the famous "Dentelles de Montmirail," they have access to the most privileged vineyards in the region. They benefit from their high altitude, which creates large temperature fluctuations between day and night. Furthermore, they are protected from extreme weather conditions, and the mineral qualities of the soil give the wines a unique character. For three generations, the Lambert family has been producing exceptional wines here that perfectly reflect the status of the appellation. Deeply rooted tradition and innovation go hand in hand here, resulting in wines that embody the richness of Provence's aromas. Lush, complex notes combine with finesse and display an extraordinary balance. The total vineyard covers just over 25 hectares. They also have some vineyards in Sablet.
Aromas of Anjou pear skin, licorice, white floral blossoms, clover honey. Flavors of Granny Smith apples, juicy pear nectar, honey, herbs, cassia, licorice. Savory, delicious, full-bodied with great acidity. A perfect "food wine" for heartier summertime fair demanding a full-throttle, unoaked white wine. Best served at 54F (not its true self when freezing cold, let the texture shine by serving at proper cellar temp or slightely cooler)
