Maison Louis Bernard, headquartered today in Gigondas, was founded in 1976 in the heart of the Southern Rhône Valley. This refreshing white wine offers pleasant aromas of white flowers and yellow fruit. The palate is round and generous with flavors of peach and apricot, and the finish is fresh and appetizing. The Côtes du Rhône is one of France’s largest and most diverse appellations, covering more than 35,000 hectares (86,000 acres) and stretching from south of Lyon all the way to Avignon. Wine has been made in this region since at least 125 BC when the early Romans first planted vines. This is blended from Clairette, Grenache Blanc and Viognier.
