2017 Côtes du Rhône Blanc La Réserve Le Clos du Caillou

Parker-Czerwinski 93 points: The 2017 Cotes du Rhone Reserve Blanc is all Clairette Rose, aged in demi-muids for three months, just to round it out a bit. It's medium to full-bodied, with striking passion fruit and nectarine aromas, a rich, silky mouthfeel and a long finish of honeyed lime zest. It's a terrific effort to drink over the next few years.

Jeb Dunnuck 93 points: Made from 100% Clairette Rosé, the 2017 Côtes du Rhône Reserve Blanc is another lightly colored white from this estate. Tart pineapple, melon, and Meyer lemon notes all flow to a vibrant, fresh, racy white that has beautiful acidity, impeccable balance, and a great finish. More spice and hints of pear developed with time in the glass. It was brought up in tank, barrique, and demi-muids.
