Côtes du Roussillon, Roussillon, Sud de France, FranceThe Blanc is a Roussillon blend of grenache blanc, roussanne, marsanne, and macabeu from vines spread across the limestone, clay, and gneiss in the Agly Valley, as well as granite soils at higher, later ripening sites (at 500 metres). I love the lean, watery texture that brings freshness with notes of citrus, pear, lemongrass, and quince. Chill this and serve it on the patio with just about anything you desire; the Chapoutier team suggests stuffed squids or chicken and apricot tagine. Super value here.Tasted: 16 October 2019Tasted by: Prices:
Côtes du Roussillon, Roussillon, Sud de France, FranceI hadn't tasted this wine in years, so was great to come across a bottle of this Roussillon blend of grenache blanc, roussanne, marsanne and macabeu. Chapoutier's familiar braille labels and biodynamic beliefs trickled down to southern France and the stony soiled terraces of Côtes du Roussillon, imparting a watery white of lemon blossom, pear skin, underripe melon and white grapefruit pith along a lean palate. The finish is clipped and bright, with a slight flush of warmth and a rise of sour citrus and lemon thistle. Chill this and pour with Thai scented curry or seafood.Tasted: 07 November 2018Tasted by: Prices:
