Domaine de Beudon Valais Fendant 2007 Northern Rhone

Domaine de Beudon Valais Fendant 2007 Northern RhoneChasselas, as it is more famously known, goes by the name of Fendant in the Valais. Bright, and intriguing, and with a touch less sappy character than perhaps many a younger release of the variety.

It’s a no brainer from this great estate

with sharp red-fruit flavors and a hard finish

bright Chardonnay fruit

it opens with wafts of iodine and woodsmoke that give way to wild berry fruit and accents of rose petal and tangerine

The Viu­ra grape in the first two weeks of Oc­to­ber

Lively and refreshingly zesty

An intense bouquet with hints of ripe fruit and rose petals

with aromas of blackberries and cranberries

Want to taste Sun Goddess wine with Mary J

cherry and toffee with hints of vanillin and walnuts

Julien Sunier's seductive Fleurie impresses with its purity

Vintage 2023 was an overall cooler growing season with moderate rainfall and late budbreak
