Comtesse Madeleine Blanc Côtes du Rhône Lirac White Rhone Blend

This Lirac blanc is 40% Marsanne, 35% Clairette, 20% Grenache Blanc, and 5% Picpoul — the Marsanne really shows out, the Grenache Blanc adds some fatness, while the Picpoul adds some nice bracing acidity, this has long been one of my favorite southern Rhone whites, this really shows the richness and power of the 2022 vintage, lovely!!

[40% Marsanne, 35% Clairette, 20% Grenache Blanc, 5% Picpoul] White peach, wildflowers, and ripe lemon aromas and flavors, tart and crisp, good balance, lingering finish, very fine Lirac blanc!!
