Domaine du Fondreche Cuvee Persia Blanc, Cotes du Ventoux, France

點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：5858

The stunning 2001 Cotes du Ventoux Cuvee Persia blanc (nearly 100% Roussanne) boasts an exotic perfume of honeysuckle, apricot jam, rose water, and butter. Full-bodied and opulently-textured, it is a close cousin to the famed Roussanne Vieilles Vignes of Chateau Beaucastel. However, this offering sells for one-fourth the price. Drink this gorgeous white over the next 12-16 months. Sadly, only a minuscule 3,000 bottles were produced. My tasting notes on my visit with proprietor Sebastien Vincenti ended with the comment, "These wines are simply too good for their prices. Does anyone really believe such amazing quality exists at this price range?"Importer: Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, DC; tel. (202) 832-9083
