Lucien et Andre Brunel Chateauneuf-du-Pape Les Cailloux Blanc, Rhone, France 2021 Vermut On the entry of thisThis expertly crafted white Chateauneuf is delightful from the moment you sniff the orange blossom, fresh almond and white peach bouquet. The generous palate has modest acidity but excellent structure that enables it to effortlessly carry the richness and creaminess. Then comes the uplifting freshness at the long creamy finish. 94 Pts James Suckling
