Michel Gassier, Nostre Pais, Costières de Nîmes, 2016

This complex white blend (40% Grenache Blanc, 30% Roussanne and 20% Clairette, with the balance from Viognier and Bourboulenc) is pale gold in colour, with attractive wild-flower fragrance of hawthorne and almond blossom. Those aromas come through on the palate, too, meshed with succulent, rich flavours of ripe summer fruits. A toothsome southern white.
