Gabriel Meffre Côtes-du-Rhône Blanc Cuvée Saint-Vincent 2013

Côtes du Rhône, Rhone Valley, FranceSo impressed with the latest white wines of the Rhone. The nose is an enticing mix of white flowers and aromatic peachy notes with spicy, nectarine, apricot and honey flavours. The finish is dry and elegant making this a perfect wine for scallops, sole or simply prepared halibut. The blend is a mix of 50-60 percent white grenache with bourboulenc, clairette blanc, roussanne and viognier from the north of Vaucluse and Gard. The grapes are vinified separately and fermented at very low temperatures before spending 6 months in vats prior to bottling. Tasted: 15 June 2014Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
