Like most Rhônes, the composition changes vintage to vintage. Current blend is Rousanne (60%), Viognier (25%), and Grenache Blanc (15%). Bright, brassy gold. Abundant and inviting nose of yellow flowers, honeycomb, and peach butter. Echoed on the full-bodied palate which adds layers of baked banana, mild baking spices, and bitter almond. Medium, food-friendly acidity. Medium long finish which continues the palate. A wonderfully complex Nimes white that will rival many CdP blends, all at an incredibly accessible price. Drink now through 2025.
