M. Chapoutier Côtes du Rhône Belleruche Blanc 2019

Pineapples, apples and a hint of citrus on the nose and pure bliss on the pallet. Perfectly balanced acidity, limestone, stone, a hint of grassyness and orange peals. If you like Aauvignon Blanc, Pinit Grigio, Reisling or Gewurztraminer kick it up a little with this Cotes Du Rhone Blanc.

The 2019 Côtes Du Rhône Belleruche Blanc displays a medium gold color as well as a fruit-forward, delicious bouquet of nectarines, buttered citrus, and honeysuckle to go with a fleshy, medium-bodied, juicy style on the palate. Readers looking or a solid house white could do a lot worse. It's ideal for enjoying over the coming year or two.

Breezy honeysuckle, star fruit and lemon curd notes are carried by fresh acidity through an unadorned finish. Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Viognier, Clairette and Bourboulenc. Drink now. 10,000 cases made, 10,000 cases imported.

Chapoutier's 2019 Cotes du Rhone Belleruche Blanc is fresh and lively, with scents of lime zest, tangerine and melon on the nose. It's medium-bodied, clean and zesty, with a welcome crispness to the finish. Drink it over the next year or so
