Le Rayon Blanc 2023 Grape|Rondinella

Le Rayon Blanc 2023 Grape|RondinellaRayon is tense, multilayered Chenin, with concentrated ripeness, textural depth and a judicious opulence. The nose shows luscious orchard fruits with a softness of apple blossom, honey and the faintest touch of walnut. Perfectly balancing buttery broad shoulders with a lucid clarity, this finely tuned wine is bound with a sinew y coil of acidity that cuts with phenomenal length the titular white ray. From the same selection of 25 to 40 year old vines

Bunches were de-stemmed

Pithy white grapefruit and a certain creaminess entwine with the racy acids in its very long finish

Cedric crafts vibrant and compelling wines which truly speak to the health of the vines and the hard work undertaken in the vineyard
