WINE ADVOCATE – #209 – 31 OCT 2013 – JEB DUNNUCK

From the Brunier\’s Domaine La Roquete estate and sandy soils, the 2012 La Roquete Blanc is an even split of Grenache Blanc, Clairette and Roussanne that\’s aged in 50% demi-muids and 50% barrels. Offering up notions of honeysuckle, melon, dried pineapple and mineral aromas and flavors, it is medium-bodied, beautifully textured and shows both richness and freshness. I\’d drink it over the coming 2-3 years, but I suspect it will evolve gracefully for years. Drink now-2017 . 90 pts
