Lot 316 | 2020 Costieres de Nimes Vielles Vignes Rhone White 750ml (91-points)


DOUBLE GOLD WINNER
SF INTERNATIONAL WINE COMPETITION!

A blend of Old Vine (Vielles Vignes) Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Viognier and Rousanne, this fantastic Rhone-style white blend has scored 91-points from Jeb Dunnock for the 2020 vintage. Pungent with a racy core of sparkling minerality, this gorgeous, crystalline beauty is a screaming deal...

Normally retailing in the US for between $25 and $30/bottle, its yours today for just $18/bottle.

The gorgeous bouquet is simultaneously crystalline and pungent with ripe honeysuckle and acacia flowers adorning a generous core of quince, apricot and pineapple with subtle notes of river rock. Rich on entry with excellent succosite, perfectly-ripe apricot is supported by chalky-minerality punctuated with a crisp finish of honeyed mandarin and allspice. Ripe but never cloying, the finish has huge length and persistence. Fantastic!
