Although Rhône is most famous for its reds, wines like this Côtes-du-Rhône Blanc, made from Viognier, Roussanne and Marsanne has long graced the lunch and dinner tables of French families. Yes, it's the type of wine the French drink.
The flavors in this exquisite blend remind me of a well rounded and very creamy Chardonnay.
''Côtes Du Rhône from Guigal has to be one of the greatest wines at the price point and produced. Côtes Du Rhône Blanc offers lots of Viognier character in its apricot, flowers, ripe citrus, and dried herb-like aromatics. Medium-bodied on the palate, it's fresh, focused, and one heck of a high-quality white to enjoy.'' Jeb Dunnuck (Previous Vintage Review)
''Floral and bright, with ripe cantaloupe, honeysuckle and nectarine flavors that are succulent and generous. Reveals chamomile and salted almond notes that add intrigue on the tasty finish. A blend of Viognier, Roussanne, Marsanne, Clairette, Bourboulenc and Grenache Blanc.'' Wine Spectator Magazine (Previous Vintage Review)
So this is your chance to buy a fantastic white blend from one of Rhone's most prestigious estates. You struggle to see Australian producer's making such wines for less than $40 and dare I say many of those more expensive offerings from Australia won't get close to this one. Grab a few bottles, you won't be disappointed, it's a fantastic French white!
