The arnoux family have been tending their plots in the rhône valley since 1717 – and jean françois arnoux is the 15th generation of winemakers. Often in the shadow of its red counterpart, white côtes du rhône is floral, refreshing and deliciously peachy – and this wine is a case in point. From grenache and viognier vines with an average age of 50 years, this blend is the quintessential wine for lovers of rich, textured and perfumed whites. It’s france’s best kept secret – and for good reason. Expect floral notes of blossom and ripe flavours of stone fruits and citrus with a refreshing mineral finish. Its rich body makes it an ideal pairing for feta cheese or grilled chicken.
