Composed of 68% Roussanne, 27% Grenache Blanc, and 5% Viognier, the 2003 Esprit de Beaucastel blanc’s alluring nose of rose petals, honeysuckle, quince, licorice, and white currants soars from the glass of this light gold-tinged wine. Complex and pure, with a super texture as well as a long, concentrated finish, this is a boldly styled white that combines elegance with power. It should drink well for several years.
