1 person found it helpfulJul 22nd, 201480% Clairette Blanc and 20% Roussanne. Bold gold color. Aromas of white peach, white flowers and toasted hazelnuts. Pallet is loaded with stone fruit with hints of pear, citrus and those hazelnuts. Wine was a bit oxidized (Sherry-like) but in pleasant way. Bit of a chalky texture. Complex and crisp. Solid food wine.
