2018 Clos des Cazaux Vacqueyras Blanc Les Clefs d'Or - 92 PTS - JD

jeb dunnuck logo 250"The 2018 Vacqueyras Les Clefs D'Or Blanc is another head-turner. A blend of 50% Clairette, 30% Roussanne, and 20% Grenache Blanc brought up in tank, it offers a clean, vibrant style carrying classy notes of tart peach, citrus, lemongrass, and exotic herbs. Medium-bodied, balanced, and with a kiss of minerality, it’s solid today, yet I suspect it will age gracefully for 7-8 years."

Medium-bodied on the palate, it has a terrific sense of freshness, good overall balance, and a clean, crisp finish that will keep it versatile on the dinner table."

2021 Clos des Cazaux Vacqueyras Blanc Les Clefs d'Or - 91 PTS - JD

jeb dunnuck logo 250"A blend of 50% Clairette, 30% Roussanne, and the rest Grenache Blanc, the 2021 Vacqueyras Les Clefs D'Or Blanc has a medium-bodied, perfectly balanced, elegant style as well as outstanding notes of citrus, lime, and hints of tart pineapple. This clean, crisp, vibrant white will shine on the dinner table, and I suspect it will have 4-5 years or more of longevity."
