Not enough weight to balance out the phenolic edge but good good wine. A little rs?

The Brunel family has been in the CDP region since the 17th century, making wine for five generations. The first vineyard was purchased from the Bishop of Avignon lin the north. In 1971, André Brunel took over the reins of the Domaine. Stone fruit aromas with sweet citrus scents. On the palate pear and apricot with honey notes, savory on lingering finish.

Lime, honey, lemongrass & floral notes balanced w/ minerality, soft round mouthfeel, great value #rhone #andrebrunel

Wet stone & moss, the wine also brings you tropical pineapple notes, dried fruits, and a touch of amaretto. Palate brings major waxy apple, floral and spice notes. Finish comes on fast and strong, leaving the mouth a little too hot for my preference.

Nice, tasty, but didn't blow my hair back. But Rhone Blanc usually doesn't.

Oily mouthfeel of Roussanne, citrus and tropical aromatics of Grenache Blanc, not a lot of wood, I'm impressed for the price.

Brioche and caramel nose. Smokey bacon flavors upon open. Mellowed to hints of smoke. Wet stone with Firm acid and minerality .

Interested white from Rhone. Roussane 50%, Grenache blanc 30%, and clairette 20%. Slightly floral. Peach, apple(?), and pear. Needed about 30 mins to open. Probably good with food, but I didn't have any.
