Yellow straw color. Aromas and flavors of melon and lemon skin, apple seeds, and linen with a lean, shy, bone-dry light-to-medium body and an even, momentary finish imparting nuances of pear skin and core, lemon spritzed jicamas and radishes, and birch water. A dry and somewhat austere white Rhone blend for the table.

About
Rhône White Côtes du Rhône
Much like thier red siblings, Côtes-du-Rhône whites are a great value, with many wines at or under $20 to be found. They must be made from at least 80% of the allowed Rhone white grapes: Clairette, Grenache blanc, Marsanne, Roussanne, Bourboulenc, and Viognier and make ideal summer quaffers.

White wines from this area can vary enormously in quality and typicity from thin and watery to juicy and ripe. The best producers, however, will make wines that are rich and ripe. Côtes-du-Rhône is almost always drinkable upon release and requires no further cellaring.
