Tasting Notes: 020 Coudoulet Blanc is the usual blend, by which I mean it contains a good amount of Viognier (not allowed in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, just about the only local variety that isn't) as well as Marsanne, Bourboulenc and Clairette. It is a classic Coudoulet Blanc: fresh and fruity with perky acidity and good length. I could drink this now quite happily. October 2021.

| Drinking Dates: 2023 to 2030 | Cépagement: 30% each Bourboulenc, Marsanne and Viognier, 10% Clairette | Soil: Miocene marine molasses with a layer of alpine diluvium (rounded pepples). | Upbringing: Hand-picked grapes are collected in baskets prior to sorting, pneumatic pressing and clarification of the must, fermentation partially in oak barrels and partially in steel tanks. For eight months in barrels and steel tanks, before blending and bottling, without cold stabilisation. | ABV: 13% | Critic Reviews: "The 2020 Côtes Du Rhône Coudoulet De Beaucastel Blanc is a beauty and offers lots of melon and pear fruits as well as classic spice and rocky minerality. Based on 30% each of Viognier, Marsanne, and Bourboulenc, with the balance Clairette, it’s medium-bodied, beautifully textured, and balanced, with the fresh, pure, elegant style of the vintage." 91/100 (Jeb Dunnock
"Lemon peel, citrus oil, white peach, quinine and jicama notes are allied to a steely spine, with flashes of verbena and savory on the intensely focused finish. Distinctive and could probably use a touch of cellaring. Marsanne, Viognier, Clairette and Bourboulenc." 91/100 (Wine Spectator) |
