The 2010 Cotes du Rhone blanc (40% Viognier, 50% Roussanne and 10% Clairette) displays rose petal, waxy notes, medium-bodied, elegant flavors, good freshness and a hint of peach. This is a fleshy, medium-bodied, dry white to drink over the next year or so.
Great bargains continue to emerge from Domaine Grand Veneur as well as from their negociant arm of the business, labeled Alain Jaume.
