  August 27, 2021 - There can't be much better value than this, an authentic white (a blend of a variety of local varietals: Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Marsanne, and Macabeu) from a renowned producer (Chapoutier) for well under $20 -- just $16 in Ontario. There isn't great depth, and the complexity relies on vague notions, but what's here truly expresses the sun-drenched Roussillon, including notes of lemon, grapefruit, peach, rocky minerality, white flowers, white pepper, and a hint of smoke, all riding a wave of tart acidity but with nicely fleshy fruit to keep things balanced.
