2010 Le Limoux, Château Rives Blanques
This comes from my good friends Jan and Caryl Panman and is a blend of 42% Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay 40% and Mauzac 18%, in other words the three white varieties that you find in sparkling Limoux, Blanquette or Crémant. And they make for delicious still wine. Light colour. Some intriguing herbal notes on the nose, and on the palate a touch of oak and good acidity and some intriguing dry honeyed notes. It should age beautifully and become richer and fuller in the palate.
