Grand Veneur Côtes du Rhône Blanc 2023

90 POINTS: James Suckling (previous vintage)

"Although full-bodied and very creamy, this has lovely floral freshness on the nose, together with attractive, fresh almond and pistachio notes on the palate. Long, textural finish. Only lightly filtered, so may develop a bit of deposit."

A great intro to the whites of this region, the value priced 2023 Côtes du Rhône Reserve Blanc (50% Roussanne, 40% Viognier, 10% Clairette aged all in stainless steel) gives up ample white peach and lemon-laced stone fruits, medium-bodied richness and juicy, vibrant acidity that shines on the finish. It’s a seriously quaffable white to drink over the coming year or so.

ABV: 13.5%
