Gérald Lafont and Baptiste Olivier are known throughout France as two of the Rhône Valley's top oenologists. A blend of 90% Grenache and 10% Syrah, dark fruit and flinty aromas. On the palate blackberry and cranberry flavors with floral spice tones wrapped in smooth tannins. Medium+ finish ending with s bright mineral character. Nice. Tasting Sample. — 6 years ago

@Delectable Wine, this is 100% Clairette Blanche.
N:Waxy Asian pears, oranges, white flowers. Not perfume or talc, a straight shot. A bit of sand and sweatiness.
P: Honeysuckle, chamomile, luscious onthe palate and bright. I know/see there have been detractors but I also know of a fan club, count us in. 7 yrs certainly doesn’t hurt. It has that great waxy thing of the Rhone. So glad it was recommended. — 10 months ago

A bit closed, but as it opened up it evolved into a very nice wine. Thanks to Dario Bassini for a great day in St Emillion! — 5 years ago

Black fruit aromas but more red fruit and earthy flavors on the palate. A solid pick for $15. — 4 years ago

E’ molto interessante. A mia moglie piace molto. Sarebbe raro di trovare Chataunuf di pape blanc. Ha il corpo abbastanza, allo stesso tempo assagio l’accodita abbastanza. E equibilibrato. Ho avuto altri quattro bottelie. — 5 years ago
