L'Insouciante Blanc

Camille Cayran

Insouciante, French for the happy-go-lucky-care-free spirit embodied by these wines. A pale and shining gold hued Rhône white, classically styled with all the tell tale notes of the style: a superb, fruit forward nose of stone fruit, citrus, white flowers, white pepper, and herbs de provence. The palate, a remarkable roundness in the mouth, finishing with floral notes of apple blossom and honeysuckle and a gentle acidity that gives freshness and balance. Beautiful with asparagus, scallops, grilled fish, and Indian cuisine. Best enjoyed at 12-13º.
