A super value blend dominated by Grenache Blanc and Roussanne from this underrated Ventoux producer. Lot's of pink grapefruit, mandarin, apricot and assorted floral notes on the crisp nose followed by plenty salty citrus, minerality and stone fruit on the racy palate that shows decent texture and balance. It doesn't have the concentration or clarity of a more serious bottling from this part of the world but for £10 in the UK it's no brainer. Drink now but will cruise along nicely for a few years.

I agree with my tasting note of almost two years ago; still tasting great !! Perfect composite cork, easily removed. Light straw color with excellent clarity. Consumed over four days (vac u vin and refrigerated), this balanced Rhone blend benefited for oxygen to soften and opened the wine. Aromas of melon and honeysuckle with flavors of tropical fruits and citrus with a long to medium soft finish. 34% Grenache Blanc, 33% Roussanne, and 33% Bourboulenc makes up this wonderful blend from an ancient vineyard in the valley below Mount Ventoux. This blend has great aging potential.
