Ferraton Pere et Fils Cotes du Rhone Villages Laudun Blanc 2023 750ml

Expert Review - Vintage 2023

Jeb Dunnuck 90 Points | The 2023 Côtes Du Rhône Samorens Blanc is based on 35% Roussanne, 30% Grenache, 20% Viognier, and 15% Clairette. It has a beautifully pure nose of ripe lemon, honeyed white flowers, and chalky minerality. It's medium-bodied, has a fresh, focused, lively mouthfeel, integrated acidity, and a saliva-inducing finish.

Winemaker Description 

Bright, pale golden color with silver hints. Aromas of white flowers and white fruits. Nicely balanced wine, Clairette brings the freshness and the Grenache Blanc brings the body and softness.

This wine is fantastic with a variety of light and flavorful dishes:

• Seafood: Grilled fish, sole meunière, scallops (coquilles Saint-Jacques), or shellfish/oysters due to its minerality and fresh character.

• Poultry: Chicken or turkey dishes.

• Vegetables: Risotto with asparagus or a Mediterranean ratatouille.

• Local Pairing: It pairs wonderfully with Provençal and Mediterranean cuisine.
