Superbly fresh, very minerally. Wonderful and vibrant. Parker called this the Chablis of the South

I enjoyed this wine. Surprisingly golden color with good minerality that is typical of the Côtes du Rhône region. Smooth and crisp. I'm sure my tastebuds were somewhat influenced by having purchased this wine in Provence in 2013 (for a song) and then bringing it home to drink, but one's enjoyment of wine can always be influenced by a sense of place, n'est-ce-pas?

Drank this with gigot - probably better with cheese. Recommended by a well known wine expert in Vaison la Romaine, France. We weren't impressed.
