Remejeanne Côtes du Rhône les Chevrefeuilles Blanc 2021

François Klein established Domaine La Réméjeanne in 1960 on 5 hectares near the town of Bagnols-sur-Cèze in the Gard. It’s now operated by his son Remi, and grandson Olivier. Remi diversified the property with olive groves and fig trees, and worked over the years to convert the domaine to organic farming; it’s now 38 hectares and has been certified organic since 2010.

This white blend is hand-harvested Clairette (50%), Grenache Blanc (25%), & Roussanne (25%). The fruit is all from the domaine’s cooler, east-facing, lime-rich soils. It was whole-bunch pressed and fermented with natural yeasts before resting on its fine lees, in concrete, for eight months before bottling.

Les Chevrefeuilles Blanc is expressive, pure-fruited, versatile, and simply delicious. Medium-bodied, dry, delicately laced with honeysuckle (chevrefeuilles) & orchard stone fruit throughout.
