Gabriel Meffre Côtes-du-Rhône Blanc Cuvée Saint-Vincent 2023

Côtes du Rhône, Rhone Valley, FranceI just tasted the ’22, which was still fresh, but the ‘23 jumps from the glass. This is where the Grenache Blanc and Clairette show off, with some tempering and mouthfeel from Roussanne, Marsanne, and Viognier. Look for bright floral blossoms and a dash of lees. The palate is equally finely tuned with spice and a balancing bitter note of minerality to offset the light pear, citrus, and green fig. Dry, elegant, and ready for spring and summer. Take your pick: scallops, halibut, and sushi. They all work here.Tasted: 15 April 2025Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
