Olivier Ravoire Côtes du Rhône - White - 2021

By naming this range in honour of the epic of Capitan Ravoire – a valiant knight in the 16th century in the Comtat Venaissin in 1593 - Olivier Ravoire was keen to highlight the history of the Ravoire family. In this respect, the different appellations have been named using terms associated with chivalry.

Banderet, the name of our Côtes-du-Rhône vintage, is associated with the knight bannerets
in the Ravoire family for several generations.

The vintage is the result of a meticulous blend of grapes from the best plots in the appellation. This wine was created to offer a rich tasting experience to share and discover.
