Château de Nages – “Héritage Blanc” 2023
Costières de Nîmes AOP – Rhône Valley – France 🇫🇷

Overview
A Southern Rhône-style white blend composed of 60% Grenache Blanc, 25% Clairette, 10% Roussanne, and 5% Viognier. The Grenache Blanc drives a juicy, approachable core, while the supporting varieties add aromatic lift and texture. The 2023 vintage shows freshness, balance, and easy drinkability.

Aromas & Flavors
Light floral notes, white peach, ripe pear, and subtle exotic fruit. A gentle aromatic lift adds a soft perfumed touch.

Mouthfeel
Medium-bodied with a smooth, juicy texture. Well-balanced, with a clean, refreshing finish and good integration across the palate.

Food Pairings
White meats, creamy sauces, grilled chicken, goat cheese, and Mediterranean-style dishes.

Verdict
A well-balanced, crowd-friendly Rhône white that overdelivers on approachability while maintaining enough complexity to stay interesting.

100% Grenache Blanc. Near clear straw gold with fine bubbles and persistent white mousse. Stony white cherry on the inviting nose. Mineral, green apple, and white cherry on the medium palate. Firm acidity, of course, and a lengthy though faint finish. A novelty now; a staple later. Ingenious vinting of White Grenache as a zero dosage, extra brut bubbly. This should easily be on everyone's mid-range sparkling list for brunch or a dinner starter. Drink when you buy it, of course. — 4 years ago

Clean, tart, crisp. Great summer wine. Unintentionally had it with key lime pie, which was a pretty decent pairing. 60% Grenache, 40% Roussanne. $10 — 8 years ago

Mildly floral and only barely perceptible spice in the nose, with a fresh, dry, tannin feel and lovely medium finish that imparts only a hint if sweet ... I f***ing love this wine. It earns all its own points on taste, but gets an additional honourable mention for being UNDER $20. Buy a case or three right now and thank me later! — 8 years ago

Rose gold in color. Smells like the beach, but not in a bad way..? Apricot, salt water and bright red fruit on the nose. Taste is pleasantly dry, but has a funk that probably wouldn't be there were this rosé properly chilled. Want to try again after it's super cold. — 3 years ago

Outstanding value that over-performs. For $10 you get balance, acidity, and crispness. Grapefruit zest and cotton candy on the nose and the pallet exhibits strawberries, cranberries, lemon, and a refreshing finish. Great for this time of the year! To add to it, everything Michael Gassier is making under this label is receiving high accolades.

Cheers!
