Pierre Amadieu Domaine Grand Romane Côtes du Rhône Blanc 2016
Gigondas, Southern Rhone, Rhone Valley, FranceThis Côtes du Rhône Blanc is produced from 100 percent clairette, the oldest vines on the property, planted in 1955 at some 300+ meters. The wine is fermented in new and one-year-old French oak barrels and spends 10 months on its fine lees but you hardly notice it. The nose is a quince, pear and honey affair with bright floral notes. The palate is similar with spicy apricot/grapefruit fruit, light citrus and ginger flavours. Lovely finesse. The wine is barrel fermented in new French oak barrels. More Gigondas Blanc than Cotes du Rhone. Serve as an aperitif or pair up with shellfish, chèvre or chicken salad. Only 7,000 bottles made each year.Tasted: 05 April 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $32.00 | 750ml | speculative listing - Evolution Fine Wines |
