The style is light, juicy, and aromatic, with red fruit, yellow fruit, and floral notes, packaged in a more sustainable bottle made of lighter glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"14jexaw\" data-start=\"520\" data-end=\"543\"\u003eVineyards and region\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"545\" data-end=\"623\"\u003eThis wine comes from the Rhône Valley, within the broad Côtes du Rhône appellation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"625\" data-end=\"876\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"627\" data-end=\"650\"\u003eLocation \/ Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e The grapes come from small winegrowers in the Rhône Valley who have been working with Brotte for decades.

In 2015, Thibault and Benoît Brotte joined the family business as the 5th generation, where they work with their parents on a fresher and more contemporary interpretation of Rhône wine. Signature Thibault Brotte fits perfectly into this new generation: recognizably Rhône, but lighter, more modern, and made to be enjoyed chilled.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Brotte","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45176100126799,"sku":"5770","price":10.75,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/DomaineBrotteSignature.webp?v=1778162282","url":"https:\/\/perfectewijn.be\/en\/products\/maison-brotte-signature-thibault","provider":"Perfecte Wijn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
