Great white to pair with a fish based dish or other seafood. Nose gave minerals and some intense stone hues, in addition to peach, citrus & a sense of cream that appeared at times. Body was rather full, at 13.5 abv, with acidity being present but not invasive, and volume being expressed through a an oily - alcohol like, clearly dry, development. Missed a bit more fruity elements but I liked everything else.

From the producer's website (currently, but with no vintage specified) this is 50% Grenache, 15% Clairette, 15% Bourboulenc, 10% Viognier, 10% Roussanne.
This is a simple, smooth, straightforward white rhone. I prefer it slightly to the 2017 (qv) in that it doesn't have the alcohol heat which that had.
The nose is a little muted, with faint notes of white flowers. The palate is smooth, straightforward, unidimensional - white flowers, stone fruit, just a tiny bit of bite. The finish is short-ish, and not too cloying in the way that cheap white Rhone can sometimes be.
Overall it's a simple and inoffensive wine, and OK but not great QPR at the ~US$14 that I paid.
