Aromatic Yeast for Fruity, Floral White Wines
Côte des Blancs is a classic aromatic strain selected in France and prized for producing expressive, fruit-forward white wines. It is an excellent choice for Sauvignon Blanc, Muscat, Riesling, Gewürztraminer, and Chardonnay, especially when cool fermentation is used to preserve delicate esters. This yeast delivers wines with enhanced floral and fruity notes, ideal for fresh, aromatic styles or sweet wines.
