Domaine des Pères de l’Église, Vin de France "L’Esprit" Blanc, Rhone Valley, France 2020
{organic} Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Ugni Blanc
STONE FRUIT & TROPICAL VIBES, FLORAL & LUSH
Rhône whites are absolutely delightful, and it’s a shame that we don’t encounter them more often, as they only account for about 5% of the prolific valley’s total output. This golden-hued gem from the Chateauneuf maestroes at Pères de l’Église is all up in the house – exotically perfumed and luscious, yet dry and youthfully refreshing – just the sort of Rhône white sipper that we keep our fingers crossed for.
Serving Suggestions: Moroccan stewed chicken & couscous w/ sultanas & almonds. BBQ jackfruit w/ paprika & garlic.
