Château de Montfaucon
Comtesse Madeleine de Montfaucon Côtes du Rhône Clairette
Côtes du Rhône, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
Flinty minerality, orange peel and a distinct and intense shot of herbes de Provence. The lack of fruit might leave you wondering where the 93 point RPWA score came from, but this is a focused, unique, and mind-bending wine from 140+ year old vines. Pairs awesomely with French fries.

Old-vine Clairette, from a Lirac vineyard planted in 1870, loads of minerality and wild herbs, faint flinty aromatic note that carries into the palate, excellent acidity and length, wonderful southern Rhône blanc!!

Dec 20th, 2024Much more evolved than the 2017 we drank earlier tonight, this is clearly mature, both color-wise and aromatically, viscous and rich, very good, but not outstanding.
