M. Chapoutier Les Vignes de Bila-Haut Blanc 2021
Côtes du Roussillon, Roussillon, Sud de France, FranceI love the lean, watery texture that brings freshness with notes of citrus, pear, lemongrass, and quince. Almost gulpable, this is a delicious everyday white, and at its markdown price, it is a stellar bargain few, if any, of its competitors can beat. The Chapoutier team suggests an apricot tagine of stuffed squid or chicken. I'll drink to that. Stock up, super value here. The 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).Tasted: 05 September 2023Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $19.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
