Clos du Joncuas 2024 Cotes du Rhone Villages Seguret Blanc

Clos du Joncuas (Domaine la Garancière) Seguret Blanc: 50% Clairette (some vines are 110 years-old), 25% Roussanne, 25% Viognier, always organically farmed, wild yeast fermentation, aged in enamel vat.  This unique Rhone white shows subtle aromas of dried pear, peach, citrus and stone. The palate is dense and well-structured with flavors of citrus peel, white fruits, stone, hay and almond. The 2024 is very long and fairly powerful, but well-balanced at 13.5% alcohol. It will accompany a bouillabaisse, full-flavored fish dishes, squid, octopus, roast chicken with herbs, full-flavored cheeses and patés. With aeration the wine becomes more aromatic and floral, showing the viognier, really lovely! This is a fabulous value and highly recommended... An outstanding value and highly recommended. -David Lillie
