2015 Chateau Les Valentines C̫tes de Provence Blanc allowing medium-bodied layers of stone

allowing medium-bodied layers of stone fruit and apple to rise to the fore

yet rich expression

but we can say that this Gem is a steal

Deeply colored and concentrated

showing depth over charm ‰ÛÒ therefore better than many a 2011

2015 Chateau Les Valentines C̫tes de Provence Blanc allowing medium-bodied layers of stoneThis blend of old vine Ugni Blanc, Rolle and Clairette has lovely notes of quince, melon, lemongrass and lime, with a whisper of salinity on the nose. It reminds me of some of the great whites of Cassis, the seaside village about 100 kilometers away. Perfect for a Provencal lunch of mussels and fries.
