a fresh and elegant Southern Rhône white wine with a bright pale gold colour and expressive aromas of white flowers, pear, melon, grapefruit and other white-fleshed fruits. The palate is crisp and mineral-driven, balancing lively citrus freshness with a rounded texture from its blend of Clairette, Grenache Blanc, Roussanne and Rolle (Vermentino), finishing with notes of grapefruit and pomelo
DESCRIPTION
Located in Générac, south of the Roman city of Nîmes, Château Grand Escalion is an estate dating back to 1884. Since 2002, it has been managed by Maison Gabriel Meffre. The vineyard's 44 hectares are spread over a single area surrounding the estate and stretch across gentle slopes. The Château owes its name to the word “Escalion”, meaning “ascent” in Provençal.
