Roger Sabon Plaisir Blanc NV
Southern Rhône, France | Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Viognier, Clairette | Contains Sulphites | 75cl | 15% ABV
Serious "baby Chateauneuf Blanc" from the opposing side of the Rhone, 6 miles from Chateauneuf. Creamy, almost waxy, broad, dense, intense, aromatic, spiced. Almond and toast, apricot and lilies. Quite superb food wine with rich creamy sauces, roast birds, mushrooms, fish and chips. Way out of its class, a jewel and bargain from top Chateauneuf grower Sabon. Minimal sulphur, cool co-ferment, unfined, vines up to 40 years old, declassified vineyard.
