Pere Anselme La Fiole Côtes-du-Rhône Blanc

The Legend of La Fiole dates back to 1952 after a meeting between a winemaker from Châteauneuf du Pape and a renowned glass artist from the region. Together they imagined a bottle with curved shapes, reminiscent of the vines of old Grenache vines bent by the Mistral wind. Much more than a simple bottle, it became the ideal bottle for a great Châteauneuf du Pape wine.

The vines for La Fiole Côtes-du-Rhône white are located in the Gard department. This wine is sourced from vines planted in two distinct soil types of varieties suited to their specific terroirs. Grenache Blanc, which makes up about 60% of the blend, thrives on the sandy-clay soils at the foot of south-facing slopes. This produces a wine that is concentrated and well-structured, with fresh aromas and bright acidity, providing a solid base for blending with Clairette. Clairette (around 40%) is grown primarily on silty clay at the foot of the slopes. The cooler soils and slightly more humid microclimate result in fresher, more floral and citrus aromas, along with lively notes on the palate. This adds freshness and lift to the blend, creating wines with nice fat, fullness and suppleness on the palate and a lovely, long finish.
