Tired of the usual chardonnay, sauvignon blanc duo, widen your horizons with grapes less traveled.
On balance the Sud de France Top Rated Wines Tasting offered more reds than whites.
I did find a few whites that pleased my palate and even my wallet.
One of them has to be the Mas Carlot 'Costieres de Nimes' Tradition 2007.
For whatever reason both the label and the percentages of the varietals used in this wine are different in the event book and on its distributor's page (Robert Kacher).
I will go with Robert Kacher's notes which gives us an even blend of 50% Marsanne and 50% Roussanne.
Anis, quince, a medium bodied white you could sip while sitting outside this summer and having a simple moment of bliss.
At around $11 you don't have to think too hard before grabbing a bottle.
Sante!
