Flight 1 - WHITES (2 Notes)

  • 2020 Domaine des Rutissons Verdesse

    France, Rhône / Savoie, Isère, Isère Balmes Dauphinoises

    Sharp, grassy, and herbal with a sort of a cat-pee note (but not in a Sauv Blanc way). Lemon custard and grapefruit. This is really interesting, acidic and fresh but also quite rich, not the typically mouthwatering and acid notes. This is a bit of a conundrum, deeply citric flavor profile but quite rich.

  • 2002 Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc

    France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape

    Deep color. By all accounts this was likely oxidized, but I appreciated how nutty and round it was on the palate. Mature Roussane.
