This is young Rhône white at its most arresting and balanced. Much like Jacqueline Andre's reds, the 2011 blanc possesses a serene strength that grounds the alcohol and attitude of these varieties with finesse. Aromas of Granny Smith apple and dill fronds, with dried apple, green almond, Asian pear, cool raw fennel and a sprinkle of sweet cinnamon on the palate. 40% Clairette, 30% Bourboulenc, 20% Roussanne, 10% Grenache blanc. Delicious now, this will develop nicely over the next ten years. -AR
