Oliver & Lafont
Ventoux Grenache Blanc Clairette
Côtes du Ventoux, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
@Delectable Wine, this is 100% Clairette Blanche.
N:Waxy Asian pears, oranges, white flowers. Not perfume or talc, a straight shot. A bit of sand and sweatiness.
P: Honeysuckle, chamomile, luscious onthe palate and bright. I know/see there have been detractors but I also know of a fan club, count us in. 7 yrs certainly doesn’t hurt. It has that great waxy thing of the Rhone. So glad it was recommended.

N: Wax, Resin, lanolin, Grapefruit pith, lemons, rocks. Galets Roulés after all.
P. Nice, young expression of Clairette blanc, River rocks, straw. Balance of acidity mostly on the finish.
Great w whole Rockfish & fennel.
