Tasted on January 18, 2025. #DailyWine #dnardi #WhiteBlend #SouthernFrance #CotesCatalanes #GrenacheBlanc #DomaineLafage

This is a white blend of Grenache Blanc, Grenache Gris, and Roussanne from southern France. Remember this producer, because the wines are remarkable and great values. I had many of their reds, and was curious to try one of their whites. So here is my review.

Dry white wine, 13% alcohol. Medium-light opacity, lemon color. Medium intensity nose, with parsely, cilantro, golden apples and pear. Medium body, concentrated flavors, and good acidity. The wine feels more viscous than other whites, say a Verdicchio. Lots of floral notes in the palate. It feels a lot fuller body than you would think based on it light 13% abv. The finish is very long.

A wine with a viscous texture and rich aromas of herbs, white fruit, and flowers. The concentration of flavors is amazing.
