Drink or Keep
With 65% Roussanne and 35% Clairette, this high-volume wine surprises with its finesse, freshness and richness. This Lux is ripe and full-bodied, with sweet notes of white fruit, lemon and exotic fruit, and a balanced, persistent finish with hints of brioche pâtissière and toasted almond. A perfect match for pressed cooked cheeses (Beaufort or Comté) or scallops in butter sauce.
