Côtes-du-Rhône Blanc 2023 – Domaine de l'Abbé Dîne

A luminous and elegant white wine, rooted in the tradition and finesse of Domaine de l'Abbé Dîne. This 2023 vintage evokes both Mediterranean freshness and the subtle minerality of a sandy terroir.

🍇 Origin & terroir
Grown in Courthézon, on plots of sand (safres) typical of the Reynaud estate, this white wine draws from a filtering and aerated soil, conducive to aromatic finesse.
The estate is run with great respect for nature, with manual harvesting and a reasoned approach (certified HVE according to Vertivinies). The vines are planted mainly with Clairette , a grape variety that gives this wine its purity, freshness and elegance.

👃 Tasting Notes
Color: Pale gold, with slightly green highlights — a beautiful luminosity.
Nose: Delicate aromas of white flowers, citrus, perhaps a touch of ripe peach, with a hint of fresh grass.
Palate: Fresh and supple, beautiful tension, a light vivacity typical of Clairette, fruity notes and a mineral, almost saline finish, reminiscent of the texture of sand.

🍽️ Food & service pairings
Ideal serving temperature: 10-12 °C .
Pairs perfectly with:

• shellfish (clams, whelks),

• grilled fish with herbs

• a salad of crunchy vegetables,

• fresh goat or sheep cheeses.

✨ Why we selected it

• This vintage reflects the authenticity of the sandy terroir of Abbé Dîne, with a straightforward and pure white wine.

• The choice of Clairette shows the estate's commitment to elegant wines, rather than power.

• Ideal for lovers of fresh, gastronomic white wines; it is equally appealing as an aperitif or with a meal.
