A rare Côtes-du-Rhône from the northern Rhône, the vines grown near Ampuis. It's a medium-bodied, bright and attractive white with lovely balance between generous plump fruit and inner tension. Good acidity for a 2016 white, and lovely lift from the Viognier.

There is an attractive, dry-spiced, poached-pear nose with a wealth of fresh melon before cashew, savory and mealy complexity. The palate has good brightness with savory, mealy, biscuity flavors and toasted cashews to close. A blend of marsanne, viognier, roussanne and grenache blanc. Drink now.

Tasting like a mini-Condrieu, the 2016 Côtes du Rhône Blanc (Marsanne, Viognier, Roussanne, and Grenache Blanc) offers lots of orange blossom, honeysuckle, and flower notes as well as a fresh, nicely textured style on the palate. It’s going to shine on the dinner table over the coming year or two.
