This highly unusual white version of Cinsault comes from a dry vineyard established in 1972. With plenty of extract and the grip that often seems to come from granite soils, this is herbal and slightly reductive, with remarkable precision and length and lemon peel and anise flavours. 2021-25 93/100 Tim Atkin MW
This has been called white Rhone in many blind line-ups with a nose oozing with apricot, almond and some lanolin. The palate is rich but elegant and filled with white peach and glossy pear flavours. Foodpairing: This white Cinsault accompanies a range of vegetarian dishes and Norwegian salmon soaked in a brown butter sauce or beautiful crispy oven-grilled petit poissons in a lemon butter reduction.
