La Fleur Solitaire Côtes du Rhône Blanc 2024 Boutinot Description
The nose is pretty and delicate, just hints of hedgerow flowers with subtle white stone fruit undertones.
The palate reveals nuanced and refined flavours rather than overt characteristics - these are not demonstrative grape varieties and need gentle handling to maintain the delicate flavours and freshness. Expect notes of green apple, citrus zest, preserved lemon, and a whisper of almond on the finish. There's a subtle floral quality that echoes the bouquet, alongside hints of white peach and a touch of saline minerality. Careful use of oak adds texture and vinosity to this very drinkable white, creating a harmonious balance between fruit-forward elegance and subtle complexity.
The wine finishes clean and crisp, with a lingering minerality that speaks to its terroir, leaving a refreshing, bone-dry conclusion.
A lovely aperitif or with light starters and grilled fish.
