$19.99 at Costco. Very highly recommended by Jim at Costco. A French white wine with 59 percent Roussanne grapes; 41 percent Viognier grapes. Jim's best white wine for 2012

Exactly what it should be. Mourvèdre driven, lots of garrique, very savory and fun to drink

Deceptive: Plump, soft, and waxy at first--then lime zest and zingy spice kick in. 80% roussanne, 10% each Viognier and Grenache blanc.

The hand of Philippe Cambie is evident here. Fat, rich and a bit hot on the finish. Super with Jamie's home made Pad Thai and steamed baby book Chou.

This is the Mourvèdre, Grenache, Syrah blend...not the Blanc. Pretty intense wine!

This is a blend of roussanne and Viognier with a very pretty floral perfume and juicy fruit balanced and fresh finish

Roussanne just finished dumb phase and is showing beautifully. Viogner is taken a back seat

I don’t recall which vintage but cool that it was being poured by Michel Gassier and Philippe Cambie. Tasting pour at Hospice du Rhône Saturday Grand Tasting.
