 | 86/100 "The Côtes du Rhône Vin Gourmand Blanc (Viognier, Grenache Blanc, Roussanne and Marsanne) is a medium-bodied, supple, tangy effort that gives up pretty apricot flowers and peach on the nose. Drink it over the coming year." (previous vintage) | ||||||
 | 88/100 "A high-pitched style, with verbena and honeysuckle notes leading the way for crisp yellow apple, melon rind and white peach flavors. Shows a pleasant mineral vibrancy on the finish. Drink now." (previous vintage) | ||||||
 | 87/100 "Pear, melon and anise aromas lead the way, followed on the palate by a broad, soft mouthfeel and flavors that add peppery spice on the long finish." (previous vintage) | ||||||
