Château Vessière's Tradition range includes a singular white wine. A blend of 75% Roussanne and 25% Grenache blanc, obtained through pellicular maceration, this white reveals a delicately perfumed nose of white flowers, pear and citrus fruit. Very fresh on the palate, a lovely, controlled roundness emerges, echoing the aromas present on the nose. A hint of minerality carries through to the finish. Very pleasant!
