Even better is the blend of 50% Roussanne 35% Viognier and the rest Grenache blanc the 2010 Lou Coucardie blanc. Light gold with intense honeyed waxy citrus blossom notes hints of orange rind lemon butter and white peach extraordinarily fresh acids a luscious texture and a personality similar to Beaucastel's famed 100% Roussanne cuvee of Chateauneuf du Pape this is a stunning wine for the price and should drink well for several years.
