2-4% of Vacqueyras’ production is white, and a recent trip to the Rhône put a number of whites on my radar, this being one. Clairette, G. blanc, Roussane, Marsanne, Viognier blend, neutral barrel ferment with some batonage. A wine of “gras,” texture, layers of subtleties that create a complex and contemplative experience. Gastronomic.

Wonderful Cotes de Rhône at Cafe Fountain in Venasque, France. At the restaurant it was Euro 27 equivalent to $29.15.
