19. Best CNDP I can recall. Nose full and round, peaches dominate white fruits. Perfect balance.

18.5. Deep and rich. Very long. Perfect with sea trout. Couldn’t refrain from drinking this penultimate bottle.

18.5. 2009. Best white in a long while. Has it all. Light gold, v deep nose of white fruits. Perfect balance, with just the right acidity for this Full, rich fruit. Very very long. I still have a few bottles of the 09 (the first vintage) - Mme Ferrando tells me she has none left, even for herself. Mine will last for a long while if I can refrain from drinking them - but I do have following vintages...

18+ 2009. Who could expect this from Clairette? Rich, complex, wonderful mouthfeel, very long. Ranks with Beaucastel Blanc vv and other top White Rhones.

Subgle varietal. Pretty, floral, honeyed. Good mouthfeel. Short finish. Unlike other white cndp s. Interesting
