About La Combe de la Lune, Cotes du Rhone Blanc
La Combe de la Lune Cotes du Rhone Blanc is a bright, beautifully textured Southern Rhone white, packed with lemon, citrus, white melon and a little peach, with fresh floral notes and a lovely fennel twist on the finish. There is plenty of freshness and zippy acidity, but also a gorgeous roundness from fermentation and ageing in large French oak demi-muids. A really smart, refreshing Cotes du Rhone Blanc that works brilliantly as an aperitif, but has enough weight and texture for the dinner table.
La Combe de la Lune is produced by Atelier des Sources, the micro-negociant project from the team behind Domaine Les Deux Cols, including Irish winemaker Simon Tyrrell. They work closely with growers across the Rhone Valley and Languedoc, sourcing high-quality fruit from vineyards they know and trust, with the Atelier team carrying out the harvest themselves. This certified organic white is a classic Rhone blend of Grenache Blanc, Viognier, Roussanne and Bourboulenc, with the grapes hand harvested and whole-bunch pressed. Fermentation and ageing take place in 600-litre French oak demi-muids, bringing texture and complexity while keeping the citrus fruit and freshness beautifully intact.
