Jeb Dunnuck om: Cotes du Rhone La Reserve Blanc

All Clairette Rose, the 2022 Côtes Du Rhône La Reserve Blanc has gorgeous notes of honeyed white flowers, ripe pear, orange blossom, and honeysuckle. This carries to a medium to full-bodied, concentrated, ripe, textured white that brings impressive depth and richness while staying pure, balanced, and light on its feet. It will unquestionably compete with the other whites from the region. 94/100

Parker om: Cotes du Rhone La Reserve Blanc

Showing an extra level of ripeness after the 2020 (there was no 2021 produced), the 2022 Cotes du Rhone La Reserve Blanc comes from the same parcel of Clairette Rose vines, planted in the 1960s. Half of the volume spends four months in new demi-muids, while the balance remains in stainless steel for its élevage. The nose of the 2022 is almost strawberryish and peach-like, with additional notes of dried spices, while the wine is full-bodied in the mouth, with a round, rich mouthfeel and lingering finish. 93/100

Le Clos du Caillou

Sylvie Vacherons syv hektar vinmarker ligger i den nordøstlige del af appellationen og grænser op til Beaucastel. Vinmarkerne dyrkes økologisk (certificeret siden 2010) og er overvejende i færd med at blive omlagt til biodynamik.
