Details
With a couple of years of age to it now, this Côtes du Rhône Blanc is starting to show off a lovely waxy, oily character. The Grenache Blanc grape offers herbaceous and floral notes, with complexing accents of honeysuckle and meadow flowers. A round, gentle wine of great elegance.
The Darriaud range is the brainchild of one of our favourite partners, Moreno Wines. These wines come from a selection of parcels, including those in their very own vineyards in Cairanne. It is expertly put together by winemaker extraordinaire Julien Dugas. You will not find better value for money - think of this as a cellar door purchase! The range covers wines of outstanding value and the team also produces a Côtes du Rhône white, red and 'Villages' wine, as well as a 'Cairanne Village' wine, which is a township the was recently promoted to village status after the powers that be decided that the wines were so awesome that they should be brought into the same league as the famous wines of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and other villages of similar quality.

Pairing guide
We’re huge fans of a glass of chilled Grenache Blanc at the end of a long day, and we just know you’re going to adore this release from Darriaud’s stunning Cotes du Rhone winery. It’s the perfect choice for pairing with festive goat’s cheese dishes, roast chicken centrepieces, Christmas platters of lobster tails and fat, juicy prawns, and any recipe calling for salmon, trout and other richer fish. Green vegetables, Asian curries, creamy cheeses like brie and camembert… the list of temptations just goes on and on!

Wine region

Southern Rhône, France
Picture a land of sunny skies and warm, gentle breezes, where the grapes ripen to perfection and the wine flows like water. This is the southern Rhône, a magical place where the wines are rich, spicy, and oh-so-delicious. From bold, full-bodied reds to crisp, white wine made in a range of styles, there's a wine for every palate in the southern Rhône. This is a warm region in southeastern France with a Mediterranean climate, most famous for its red wines, made from grape varieties such as Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre from world-famous appellations such as Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Vacqueyras. And with so many charming wineries to visit and delicious wines to taste, it's no wonder that people flock to this corner of France year after year. So why not join them, and let the southern Rhône cast its spell on you too?
