Richer and riper than the 2018 version, the 2019 Cotes du Rhone Blanc les Claux—a blend of Grenache Blanc, Clairette and Roussanne—is a medium to full-bodied, silky-textured effort to drink over the next few years. Flavors of pear, pineapple and tangerine all make appearances in this plump, fruit-forward refresher.

A fresh, fruity blend of Grenache Blanc, Clairette and Roussanne, the 2018 Cotes du Rhone Blanc les Claux boasts bold flavors of tangerines and pineapples. Medium-bodied, crisp and clean, it's a refreshing summertime quaffer.

The ripe, honeyed 2016 Cotes du Rhone Blanc les Claux is a blend of 60% Grenache Blanc, 20% Clairette and 20% Roussanne. It's medium to full-bodied, with scents of tangerine, pineapple and pear balanced by hints of brine and zest and on the finish.

The 2014 C?tes du Rh?ne Blanc les Claux is a medium-bodied, fresh and lively 2014 (which is the norm in the vintage) that gives up pretty notes of pear, green citrus and mint in a steely, pure and classy style. It’s well worth checking out and is geared for drinking over the coming year or three.

The 2013 C?tes du Rh?ne Les Claux Blanc is a rocking white from the south of France that offers pretty, Condrieu-like (despite there being no Viognier in the blend) notes of apricot, banana and citrus to go with a supple, fruit-forward, delicious feel on the palate. Made from equal parts Grenache Blanc, Clairette and Roussanne that was brought up all in concrete, with lots of lees contact, it should represent a solid value and drink nicely for 1-2 years, possibly longer.
