Tasting notes
Light bright yellow. Aromas of ripe citrus and pit fruits are complicated by hints of dusty minerals and pungent flowers. Juicy and seamless on the palate, offering peach nectar and orange pith flavors that show good depth and bright, minerally cut. The floral note repeats on the supple finish, which hangs on with very good tenacity.

Another terrific white is the 2015 Côtes du Rhône Blanc, a cuvée that continues to over-deliver in just about every vintage. Tasting like a top-flight Condrieu with its tangerine, honey and floral aromas and flavors, it’s pure, elegant and impeccably balanced on the palate.

Fine yellow robe. The nose is graceful, finely nuanced, comes with subtle prompts, pear, aniseed, tangerine fruits, with roast nuts – it’s a stylish opening. The palate also works well on style, with fine acidity and gentle pear-apricot flavours, a mild freshness on the close. This holds lots of charm for a Côtes blanc, is a detailed, commendable do. It has lovely Viognier-aided length. 13.5°. 65% Vio, 15% Rouss, 8% Mars, 8% Clair bl, 2% Bourb, 2% Gren bl. Jun 2017, www.drinkrhone.com, Drink: 2017-2021
