Rich, tropical nose. Peach and lychee at the forefront. Not picked up on the palate in the same way, more subdued fruit, still some peach, but also hints of yellow apples and some slight spiciness. Good, but not spectacular.

This is just beautiful wine. Tasted together with close de Papes blanc 2015 and Chateau Simone 2005 (same grape variety dominating), and this came out very well even if it costs only a fraction of the competitors. Nutty nose, peach and pear, and quite a lot of flowers. Full bodied, fine acidity, and a long, flowery aftertaste. This is just a brilliant value, and a very good wine.

A wonderful surprise! Pure Clairette from vineyards in the Gigondas appellation. A full bodied wine with aromas of honey wax, yellow prunes, as well as a nutty tone. Full bodied for a white wine, nice acidity to balance the fruit, and a fresh and nutty aftertaste. This could probably improve with some ageing. An incredible buy at 10 euros at the domaine.
