E. Guigal Cotes Du Rhone BLANC 2023 750ml FULL SIZE

Expert Review - Vintage 2023

Kristen Bieler writes:  An attractive white, with a lush offering of poached pear and fresh apricot flavors set against dried thyme and spicy lime zest acidity. Flinty mineral hints nicely offset the round, ripe palate on the medium finish, marked by floral and green almond notes. Well-done. Viognier, Roussanne, Marsanne, Clairette, Bourboulenc and Grenache Blanc. Drink now.  - Wine Spectator

Nicolas Greinacher writes:  Raised entirely in stainless steel, the 2023 Côtes du Rhône Blanc outperforms the 2022 I tasted last year. Vivid apricot, yellow apple and white peach aromas of moderate intensity rise from the glass. Round and concentrated, the sapid 2023 checks out with notable freshness on the juicy close.   Drinking 2025 to 2027.  - Vinous

Stuart Pigott writes:  An aromatic white Cotes-du-Rhone with lots of floral aromas, including pink roses. Ripe and medium- to full-bodied. Long, creamy finish with a touch of fine tannins balancing this neatly. A Cuvée based on Viognier with small amounts of Grenache blanc and Roussanne. Drink from release.  - James Suckling 90

Winemaker Description 

Freshness on the nose with the distinctive aromas of Viognier; white flowers, apricot, acacia and white peach. On the palate it is fruity with plenty of richness and body. A well-rounded wine with elegance, strength and balance.
