Domaine la Rocaliere, Lirac Blanc "Le Classique", Rhone Valley, France 2023 {organic} 60% Grenache Blanc, 40% Clairette
LUXURIOUS PEACH & PEAR, GINGER, HEADY FLOWERS This Grenache Blanc-driven gem is a remarkable white Chateauneuf understudy, generously layering the latter’s famously assertive perfumes, waxy richness, and elegant poise while landing at a significantly less pocketbook-bruising price. Lusciously full and fragrant, it unfurls summery white flower notes and mouthwatering stone fruit. Over time, ginger, earth, and roasted nut flavors develop and assert themselves. Serving Suggestions:Apricot-stuffed pork loin w/ pepper & Himalayan pink salt. Lobster w/ drawn butter. Aloo coconut curry.
