Domaine La Florane - À Fleur de Pampre Blanc 2021 (750ml) Liguria

Domaine La Florane - À Fleur de Pampre Blanc 2021 (750ml) LiguriaFrom the southern Rhone Valley, this is a hearty yet fresh wine. "A Fleur de Pampre" is a "emerging vine shoot", a symbol of a certain art of living; it embodies gourmet pleasure and sharing, conveying the true spirit of its terroir in the South of France. Unique, rich palate with stonefruits and honeysuckle. Its super length lingers. 90% Marsanne, 10% Viognier.
