The 2003 white, a blend of 65% Roussanne and 35% old vine Grenache Blanc, was aged sur-lie, and never saw a hint of wood. Its lovely perfume of citrus, lemon zest, white flowers, and white peaches is followed by a medium-bodied, crisp, refreshing white to drink over the next 6-12 months.

The 2000 Costieres de Nimes, a tank-fermented and aged blend of 65% Roussanne, 30% Grenache Blanc, and 5% Clairette, offers notes of rose petals, honeysuckle, and bananas. This medium-bodied, richly fruity, dry wine has been impeccably vinified and bottled. It is a delicious Provencal white to enjoy over the next year.

This wine, a blend of 60% Grenache Blanc, 30% Roussanne, and 10% Clairette, is a knock-out value (2,000 cases imported). The percentage of Roussanne gives the wine a spicy, honeyed, rose petal-scented nose, and a creamy texture. Fresh, yet spicy, fleshy, and delicious to drink, it should drink well for at least a year.This wine may be even better than my point score. Chateau de Campuget is one of the stars of the up and coming appellation of Costieres de Nimes. This wine, tank-fermented and aged, is exciting because of its wonderfully pure fruit, texture, and purity.Importer: Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, DC; tel. (202) 832-9083
