On this Sunday night I have opened the 2013 Michel Gassier Nostre Païs Rhone White Blend. A blend of 60% Grenache Blanc, 20% Clairette, 15% Roussanne and 5% Viognier. From Costières-de-Nïmes, France.

On the nose there is lemon curd, yellow apple, citrus, honey, beeswax, licorice and minerals.

On the palate there is lemon, white peach, pear, honeydew melon, fennel, limestone and wet gravel.

This wine is medium bodied with a creamy mouthfeel, medium+acidity and a long citrus mineral finish. I hope everyone is doing well? Let's make the week ahead a beautiful one. Please stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🥂🥂🥂🥂

It's light and refreshing. Crisp. It not very fruity or floral. I enjoy it.

A bright blend of grapes that is crisp and citrus that ends quietly. It pairs wonderfully with food and drinks well alone.

Like biting into a peach. Very stone fruity. So wonderously delightful.
