Domaine de la Becassonne
Côtes du Rhône White Rhone Blend
Not enough weight to balance out the phenolic edge but good good wine. A little rs?

1 person found it helpfulAug 12th, 2014The Brunel family has been in the CDP region since the 17th century, making wine for five generations. The first vineyard was purchased from the Bishop of Avignon lin the north. In 1971, André Brunel took over the reins of the Domaine. Stone fruit aromas with sweet citrus scents. On the palate pear and apricot with honey notes, savory on lingering finish.

Oct 10th, 2016Wet stone & moss, the wine also brings you tropical pineapple notes, dried fruits, and a touch of amaretto. Palate brings major waxy apple, floral and spice notes. Finish comes on fast and strong, leaving the mouth a little too hot for my preference.

Mar 13th, 2016Nice, tasty, but didn't blow my hair back. But Rhone Blanc usually doesn't.

May 28th, 2018Interested white from Rhone. Roussane 50%, Grenache blanc 30%, and clairette 20%. Slightly floral. Peach, apple(?), and pear. Needed about 30 mins to open. Probably good with food, but I didn't have any.
