2010 E. Guigal Côtes du Rhône Blanc

SKU #1090582 91 points Wine Enthusiast

Outer quote mark *Editor's Choice!* - More than half of the blend is Viognier, which no doubt accounts for its dramatic aromas and flavors of exotic tropical fruit, only just reined in by more citrusy notes. It’s full bodied and round in the mouth without being at all flabby, with a crisp, clean, lingering finish. Drink it over the next year. Inner quote mark (10/2012)

89 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar

Outer quote mark Light yellow. Fresh, aromatic scents of peach, yellow plum and lemon curd, lifted by a spicy overtone. Dry and precise, with sappy pit and citrus fruit flavors that put on weight with air. Closes with good energy and clarity, leaving spice and lemon notes behind. This is quite suave for the category and would be a great pairing for lighter seafood dishes. Inner quote mark (5/2012)

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Outer quote mark The 2010 Cotes du Rhone Blanc (55% Viognier and the rest Roussanne, Marsanne, Clairette and Bourboulenc, all aged in tank) exhibits lots of exotic tropical fruits, honeyed citrus, rose petal and white peach notes. This strong effort (which still sells for a song) is drinking beautifully. Inner quote mark (10/2012)

Wine Spectator

Outer quote mark A very fresh, floral style, with breezy white peach and pear notes and a juicy, green almond-tinged finish. Inner quote mark (10/2011)

Additional Information:

Varietal:

Rhone Blends

Country:

France

- When it comes to wine, France stands alone. No other country can beat it in terms of quality and diversity. And while many of its Region, Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne most obviously, produce wine as rare, as sought-after and nearly as expensive as gold, there are just as many obscurities and values to be had from little known appellations throughout the country. To learn everything there is to know about French wine would take a lifetime. To understand and appreciate French wine, one only has to begin tasting them.

Sub-Region:

Rhone

- Legendary wine-producing region in southeast France. Stereotypically speaking, Rhone wines are high in alcohol, and the majority produced is red. The northern Rhone is best known for outstanding 100% Syrah wines from areas such as Cote Rotie and Hermitage, as well as for fabulous white wines from Condrieu (where Viognier is king). In the southern Rhone, look for spicy, full-bodied wines that are blends of Grenache, Syrah, and other varietals coming from appellations such as Chateauneuf du Pape, Gigondas, or Rasteau. Wines labeled as Cote du Rhone or Cotes du Rhone Village (a cut above generic Cotes du Rhone) are frequently found here in the US because they often represent some of the best values on the market.
