Brought up all in stainless steel, the 2020 Côtes Du Rhône Blanc is fresh and lively, with some salinity and minerality as well as plenty of peach and orange blossom aromatics. It's nicely balanced and a rock-solid white to enjoy over the coming couple of years.

This southernly expression of Viognier comes from the Northern Rhône producer, Vidal-Fleury. A full-bodied white, it highlights flavors of ripe white grapefruit and poached pears. Supple in texture yet lifted by streaks of crushed stone and with a white-pepper finish, the lavish yet easy-drinking wine is ready to drink.

The 2020 Cotes du Rhone Blanc is a blend of 80% Viognier and 10% each Clairette and Grenache Blanc, all vinified and matured exclusively in stainless steel. It's a pleasant little Viognier to drink young, with forward floral notes and hints of ripe apricot on the nose. Medium to full-bodied, with a plump, fleshy feel in the mouth, it offers plenty of appeal for the price.
