2022 Alary “La Grange Daniel” Roussanne

The Alary family has roots in the southern Rhone village of Cairanne dating back to the late 17th century. Today's Domaine consists of nearly 30 hectares of organically farmed vines, with roughly 5 of those dedicated to farming white grapes. "La Grange Daniel" is a bottling of fruit outside the limits of the Cotes du Rhone in the Vaucluse denomination. It is made of pure roussanne, a variety prized for its aromatic intensity and rich texture. Alary's version offers alluring citrus blossom aromas and a generous palate giving stone fruit, citrus rind, and almond. This will stand up to spice and heat, though we like it best with salade niçoise.
