"Ripe yellow apple and nectarine flavors have a touch of white-blossom perfume in this spry, medium-bodied white. It's not a complex wine but fresh and quaffable. The finish is brisk and clean. Enjoy now–2020. - ANNA LEE C. IIJIMA"

"I loved the 2017 Côtes du Rhône Reserve Blanc, a blend of Viognier, Roussanne, and Clairette brought up in stainless steel. Offering impressive citrus blossom, stony minerality and a hint of sea salt, it’s medium-bodied, fresh, and focused on the palate, with terrific purity. It’s a winner to drink over the coming year or two."

"Forward notes of apricots and spring blossoms are dusted by crushed stone in this rich, full-bodied white. It's an ebulliently fruity dry white balanced by a fresh, mineral finish. Drink now–2022. - ANNA LEE C. IIJIMA"

"Scents of beeswax, tangerines and peppery spice emerge on the nose of the 2019 Cotes du Rhone Réserve Grand Veneur Blanc, a tank-fermented blend that includes Roussanne, Viognier, Grenache Blanc and Clairette. It's medium to full-bodied, plump and fleshy, yet with enough focus to maintain interest through a second glass. Drink it over the next year or so. - Joe Czerwinski"

"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. Drink now."
