Domaine de la Grange des Pères
Vin de Pays de l'Hérault White Rhone Blend
Hérault, Languedoc, Languedoc Roussillon, France
Always such a singular wine. It has the weight and richness of a white Rhône, with the acid and mineral tension of a great white burg. I like to say “Chaveneau.” It’s stunningly aromatic with layered depth and complexity, wafting from the glass with ripe tropical fruit, hazelnut, wildflower honey and pastry cream. The palate is rich and intense, but retains focus and balance along with killer volume, an elegant texture and excellent length. I continue to prefer GDP blanc to the rouge.

It’s stunningly aromatic with layered depth and complexity, wafting from the glass with ripe yellow orchard fruit, roasted nuts, wildflower honey and pastry cream. The palate is rich and intense, but ever so balanced, with killer volume, texture and superb length. A fabulous showing tonight. I much prefer GDP blanc to the rouge.
