Domaine de Galuval Le Coq Volant Cotes du Rhone Villages Blanc, 75 cl

Le Coq Volant White is made from parcels in the Gayére Valley which takes its name from the river that runs through it. It is renowned for the freshness of its marbled clay soils which make it an ideal terroir for fresh and elegant white wines.  The clay is marbled, with limestone nodules and abundant pseudo-mycelia, forming substrata that enable the vines to survive the summer heat thanks to the plentiful water supply to their roots

A quartet of local grapes, white Grenache, Viognier, Roussanne and Clairette are behind this delicious white wine. The colour is a Golden yellow with greenish highlights. A complex nose of white flowers, honeysuckle and lime blossom. In the mouth it is elegant and diaphanous, with lovely smoothness of the first palate bright fruit and persistent freshness.
