The delicious wine has aromas for acacia, beeswax, quince, almond, honey and white peach. Peach, apricot and melon flavours on the palate are backed by a juicy, bitter orange-tinged finish. If you let it age, it will take notes of hazelnut and almonds… yum!
Château du Trignon has for over a century been one of the Southern Rhône Valley’s most respected wine estates. With considerable holdings in Gigondas, Rasteau, Sablet and other premier Côtes-du-Rhône locales, five successive generations of the Roux family firmly established Château du Trignon as a first rate purveyor of powerful, structured red wines. And since its purchase in 2007 by the Quiot family of Domaine du Vieux Lazaret and Châteauneuf-du- Pape fame, Château du Trignon has become equally adept at producing compelling white wines, most notably the estate’s Côtes-du-Rhône Blanc made from 100% Roussanne.

90/100 Anna Lee C. Iijima, Wine Enthusiast, April 2022 (2020 Vintage)
"Trignon's series of single-varietal Rhône whites always provides a fascinating study of grape varieties that are typically blended. This broad-shouldered, delicately nutty white highlights Marsanne's rounded pear and quince flavours, with just a hint of spice and smoke. It is delicious young but should maintain peak well through 2026."
