A terrific white from this under the radar appellation, the 2014 Cotes du Ventoux la Quintessence Blanc is a blend of 80% Roussanne and 20% Clairette, from higher elevation limestone soils, that’s aged in a combination of stainless steel (Clairette) and barrel (Roussanne). Made in a crisp, racy, medium-bodied style, it offers exotic notes of lychee nut, honeyed grapefruit, tangerine and even orange blossom on the nose. Borderline lean, it gains a touch more richness with time, has beautiful fruit and a clean, dry finish. It will drink well for 2-3 years.
