Wine Notes
You might think that this is getting on a bit for a white Chateauneauf but it is a great example of the quality that could be more regularly achieved in the region: a lovely blend of six grape varieties, all of which bring something important to the table. There is a freshness and acidity but with elegance, balanced by ripe fruit and a smokey, earthy minerality.
