The 2021 White Cuvee is slightly more Chardonnay-dominated and checks in 40% Chardonnay, 26% Roussanne, 19% Marsanne, and the rest Viognier. It's slightly more dense and concentrated, with a beautiful sense of precision in its buttered citrus, mandarin orange, white flowers, spicy oak, and brioche-like aromas and flavors. It's textured and has full-bodied richness as well as incredible length on the finish. It reminds me of a great vintage of Château Beaucastel’s Roussanne Vieilles Vignes.
