Community Tasting Notes (2) Avg Score: 87.5 points

  • A medium straw-yellow color. Quite rich on the nose, lots of honey, orange marmalade and pineapple, along with an aroma that reminds me of dried hay. Medium-bodied, a waxy mouthfeel and light acid. Creamy peach and golden apple fruit along with some honey and white flower notes. A fun white to drink in the near term. 100% Clairette.

  • (13.5%) 100% Clairette – My first experience with this varietal which starts crisp and floral with orange rinds. As it warms it turns to nectarine stone fruit with a nice mineral backbone and crisp, refreshing finish. This one is well worth the $10 introduction to the AOC Clairette de Bellegarde and its primary varietal. Grape explorers should definitely track this one down!
