CHÂTEAU du TRIGNON ROUSSANNE 2022

Swirls of orange blossom and vanilla introduce this richly textured Roussanne. Soft, honeyed flavours of tangerine and pear are broad and expansive on the palate, accented by hints of earth and sunny lemon acidity.

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.

"A fresh roussanne with plenty of apricot and some custard character that’s ripe with some nice mid-palate richness, but also lively and well balanced at the clean finish. Drink now."

90/100 Anna Lee C. Iijima, Wine Enthusiast, April 2022 (2020 Vintage)
"Chamomile and crisp yellow peach introduce this full-bodied, richly textured dry white. It maintains the heft and richness expected of Roussanne but is refreshingly balanced, etched by streaks of zippy tangerine acidity that elongate the finish. Best now–2026."
