Simon Field | A head to head between equal shareholders, Grenache and Roussanne, the latter certainly winning the aromatic part of the contest, as one would expect, tropical, indulgent, and rich. This is also persuasive en bouche, the Grenache grounding the wine and, hitherto, allowing its more flamboyant partner free rein. I suspect it will come into its own with time and permit a more-than-satisfactory development. | 87

Andrew Jefford | Mid-gold. Fresh, sweet, and warm: lemon and honey, with a hint of nut. Lively and fresh on the palate, with fair mid-palate wealth. This doesn’t quite have the density or aromatic allusiveness of the very best, but it’s a very sound classic and a generous, friendly white. | 90

John Livingstone-Learmonth | Yellow color. Greengage and bright white fruits show on the nose, a sense of butter and musky flowers. The palate holds tight matter with a sturdiness that will take a little time to ease and expand. It links well between nose and palate and is suited to sauced dishes, firm flavors. It is solid on the finish, with Grenache Blanc allowing it its good heart. Decanting on the agenda, in order to help prise it open. To 2026/28. | 87
