Grand Marrenon Blanc Vermentino/Grenache/Clairette 1.5L
Grand Marrenon Blanc Vermentino/Greenache/Clairette 1500mL - "The 2016 Luberon Grand Marrenon Blanc starts off with enticing aromas of crushed stone and citrus zest. This medium-bodied blend of 50% Vermentino, 40% Grenache Blanc and 10% Clairette is partially fermented and aged in wood and partly in tank, achieving a fine balance of faint wood notes, a sleek, satiny texture and ample freshness. No doubt the altitude of the vineyards plays an important role in retaining the acidity that is so vital to this wine's drinkability"
