Note: Robert Parker 88/100
Resolutely typical of the southern Rhône, powerful and rich in fruit, this Vieilles Vignes Blanc expresses a mineral complexity that is simply highlighted by a light barrel aging. The fusion of three great grape varieties is very well balanced and contributes to its astonishing complexity. It will remind you of more prestigious wines...
