Another beautifully made Guigal white. The nose is quite reserved and very fresh with ripe melon, honeysuckle, pink grapefruit and a touch of apricot coming through. The palate has beautiful texture and medium body along with plenty of ripe stone fruit character and salty minerality leading into the fine, crisp finish. I look for a little more richness and complexity in a good CNDP blanc but this is very fine. For the money I prefer their northern Rhone whites in this vintage but don't overlook this. Drinking now but will hold well for 5+ years.

Nez somptueux sur les fleurs et les fruits jaunes, attaque grasse en bouche, amertume assez prononcée, belle longueur
