Côtes du Rhône Villages Laudun Grenache Blanc Blend
Côtes du Rhône Villages, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
Star bright pale yellow. Abundant nose of white flowers and white peach. Medium full palate yields peach, coconut, magnolia petal, and dark quince. Medium plus acidity through the lengthy, slightly dark finish. While this would make a good wine for a big-bodied summer sipper, it (naturally) shines brightest with food. The bright acidity combined with the Rhône-typical layers of flavor will compliment heartier spring and summer fare as well as medium to soft cheeses. Classic white Rhône experience. I don’t foresee any significant development, but it should satisfy well into 2026.

May 8th, 2020Mix of grenache blanc, roussanne, voignier, & clairette. I don't taste much of the voignier & not sure what clairette is but def taste the mix of the 1st two. Slightly acidic, just a touch bitter but wet (not a dry white). Would drink again and purchase if trying to please both the Sav Blanc & Pinot Grigio/Chardonnay crowd (it's a decent balance between those 2 ends of the spectrum).

You take a bite out of Van Gogh's 'Starry Night' and realize it is actually the best meal Julia Child ever made. The wind blows through a grove of trees covered in blossoms.

Bright yellow color. A little zip on the tongue up front, but finishes smooth and soft. Tastes of lemon and flint, but not tart and dry. Juicy melon. Luscious and rounded. .
Our first Rhone white and it's delicious. We're looking forward to tasting more.

Light honey-hued. Aromas and flavors of apple, apricot, cream, flint, grapefruit, hay, lemon zest, lime, minerals, orange blossom, pear, pineapple, and rose petal. Medium body and high acidity. Aromatic on the nose; smooth yet refreshing on the palate. A great summertime wine and an amazing alternative to Sauvignon Blanc.

Feb 21st, 2020I thought this was fantastic. I didn’t take any notes, sadly, but had this wine over multiple days with multiple meals and it stood up nicely. Great balance, citrus, floral and stone fruit notes, also quite possibly the most yellow colored wine I have ever drank (drunk?).

Never have experienced a wine like this. The color is dark gold (not clear at all). Honey, apple, melon, with a touch of butter. It has a hit of acid but finishes slightly bitter. Very interesting blend.
