The 2007 Cotes du Rhone Samorens blanc (a blend of Bourboulenc, Clairette, and Grenache Blanc) exhibits copious aromas of nectarines, honeyed white citrus, and flowers in its crisp, medium-bodied personality. Drink it over the next year. Readers should keep an eye on this estate as quality has soared, not only for their relatively limited cuvees from the south, but also for everything they are producing in the north.Importer: A French Paradox, Peoria, IL; tel.
