Costières de Nîmes White Rhone Blend 2024

Halos de Jupiter Blanc – white blend – 2024
Côtes du Rhône AOP – Southern Rhône, France 🇫🇷

Overview
A classic Southern Rhône white blend composed of 50% Grenache Blanc, 30% Roussanne, and 20% Marsanne, sourced from vineyards overlooking the Dentelles de Montmirail and Mont Ventoux. Crafted to highlight freshness and complexity rather than weight, this wine captures the authentic character of White Côtes du Rhône at an impressive value-driven price point.

Aromas & Flavors
White peach, ripe pear, and lemon zest open the nose, followed by subtle floral notes, almond skin, and a touch of Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, layers of stone fruit, citrus oil, and gentle savory undertones unfold with balance and clarity.

Mouthfeel
Medium-bodied and smooth, with a rounded texture from Grenache Blanc and Marsanne, lifted by the freshness and structure of Roussanne. Nicely balanced acidity keeps the wine energetic and food-friendly, with a clean, satisfying finish.

Food Pairings
Grilled fish, roasted chicken, white meats, fresh goat cheese, or simple Mediterranean dishes with olive oil and herbs.

Verdict
A delicious, approachable, and expressive white Rhône blend that delivers complexity and regional character without excess. Compelling, versatile, and outstanding for the price, a strong example of what White Côtes du Rhône does best.

Collined Sopra

Montescudaio Sangiovese 2016

Note: Small dot over the O in SOPRA Sangiovese alludes to the etymology of the word Sangiovese, from the words SANgue (blood) and GIOVE (Jupiter), small circle on the label depicts one of Jupiter's moons, aged for 24 months in barriques. Ruby with aromas of red fruits and toasty notes. Palate shows dried cherry and black raspberry with notes of cacao, tobacco and licorice. Fine soft tannins, long finish ending with fruit, smoky oak and earthy character. Nice! — 4 years ago

Costières-de-Nîmes Roussanne - Grenache Blanc Blend

An appealing white blend of 65% Roussanne and 35% Grenache Blanc is a great tasting journey to explore the variety of expressions unique to the mosaic of terroirs of the southern Rhône Valley. The Costières de Nimes AOC, located near the Mediterranean sea, benefits from maritime influences that provides the wines produces in this location with freshness, roundness and elegance.

This blend delivers a realistic aromatics of Geranium (Crane's-bill), orange and lemon peels to amp up the experience. The uplifting acidity on the mouth is invigorating as result of the mix of herbs and zesty citrus.

The juice is clean and mouthwatering with a stone-driven profile (typical of Costieres de Nimes), the balance of this blend is flavorous and elegant. South asian cuisine will the best pairing, cheers!
