Parallele 45 Blanc 2023

An unusually fragrant and lively white Cotes-du-Rhone that is generous and refreshing. White and yellow peach, apricot and ripe grapefruit aromas fill out the medium- to full-bodied palate. Long, quite zesty finish with a touch of grapefruit peel character. A cuvee of 38% viognier, 33% grenache blanc, 12% marsanne, 10% roussanne and 7% clairette. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. (Stuart Pigott,jamessuckling.com,Jan. 7, 2025)
