The blend may change from year to year in this bottling, but one thing that doesn’t seem to change is its top-quality level. The 2023 is mainly Grenache Blanc, and its stone fruit and apple character gets a boost from a nice dollop of Picpoul Blanc, a grape that’s gaining traction in the region. Viognier rounds out the mix by adding floral aromas and palate texture, and the resulting wine is elegant, beautifully balanced and long. Way to go! Contains 72% Grenache Blanc, 18% Picpoul Blanc and 10% Viognier.
