This wine is so cool. Séguret is a small appellation in the Southern Rhone Valley specializing in Grenache-based red wines, but there is a tiny amount of delicious white wine made there as this wine demonstrates. A blend of organic Grenache Blanc, Viognier, Clairette and Ugni Blanc, the l’Amauve is a dead ringer for a top Chateauneuf-du-Pape Blanc. Aromas of freshly cut hay, honey and wet stones give way to the rich, balanced palate. It’s a full-bodied white (yet only 12.5% alc.) with peach and citrus fruits that play off one another and complement the stoney gout de terroir. Enjoy now and over the next two years with crustaceans, fish stews, pork dishes, and all manner of vegetarian cuisine.
