Saint-Peray White 2022

Saint-Péray is a small appellation located in the northern Rhône Valley of France, known for its distinctive white wines. The region benefits from a continental climate with warm summers and cool nights, contributing to the freshness and aromatic complexity of the wines.

The Saint-Péray White is primarily made from the Marsanne and Roussanne grape varieties, which are traditional to the northern Rhône region.

The wine is produced by Pierre Gaillard, a respected winemaker known for his expertise in Rhône Valley wines. Grapes are hand-harvested and carefully selected to ensure quality. The vinification process typically involves gentle pressing and fermentation in stainless steel or neutral oak barrels to preserve the delicate aromas and freshness. Aging may occur on fine lees to enhance texture and complexity.

Saint-Péray White by Pierre Gaillard offers a pale golden color with bright reflections. The nose reveals floral and fruity aromas, including white flowers, citrus, and stone fruits such as peach and apricot. On the palate, it is fresh and lively with balanced acidity, a smooth texture, and subtle mineral notes. The finish is elegant and persistent.
