GRANGE des ROUQUETTE Print E-mail

Just across the Rh?ne River from Avignon, in the village of Fourmes, is the miniscule estate of Thierry Boudinaud. He has barely 15 acres here planted to the classic white Rh?ne varieties Marsanne and Viognier.


 

Marsanne/Viognier
Each year this selection of white wine is made balancing the two aromatic varietals to promote fresh honeysuckle fruit. The grape clusters are pressed whole, very slowly, to extract maximum flavors. This bottling of Marsanne-Viognier is generally a blend of 60% to 70% Marsanne, with the balance in Viognier. This wine is fermented in stainless steel and is bottled in early spring for freshness.

2003 $10.99
2002 $10.99

 

Le Pelican
The Pelican bottling is selected from slightly older parcels in the vineyard. The Le Pelican is dominated by Viognier with the balance in Marsanne. Fermentation in small barrels adds richness and texture.
