Tasting Notes/Food Pairing Suggestions
Intense aromas of peach pit, roasted peanuts, flowers and honey. Medium-bodied, this wine really dances on the palate and keeps unfolding with fresh peach and floral flavors, with just a hint of white pepper on the finish. It’s the kind of wine that makes you wonder where your last glass went to. Pairs well with light hors d’oeuvres such as prosciutto and melon, goat cheese and roasted pepper crostini, or even hummus and crackers. Great just by itself, too.About the Name/Label
It is named after the grapegrowing/winemaking team of René Ours and Emmanuel Bouchard. The lavender image is integral to both their lives—wild lavender growing between René’s vineyards, and cultivated lavender that Emmanuel’s mother Nancy tends and harvests behind their home for making fine oils and perfumes. The Popes of Avignon favored the wines of Valreas so much that they actually purchased the village, hence "Star of the Popes".
