Château de Rhodes - Gaillac Rouge 2020

Château de Rhodes - Gaillac Rouge 2020

and like the 2016 Riserva

Using Yamada-Nishiki rice polished down to 45%

for the secondary fermentation makes the most of this site-derived complexity

in the village of Rilly-la-Montagne

These vineyards are planted to ensure that maximum quality starts in the vines themselves

making it the third largest domaine in Champagne

and 20% flint

The soil here is sandy clay and pea gravel without a stone in sight

Even though it is only a small part of the country

meadows of wild herbs and flowers and the elegant charm of the grapevines

its seductive bouquet of peaches and pears underpinned by touches of almond and brioche

raspberries then evolves towards citrus and toasted notes
