A White from Southern France/Chene Bleu Aliot 2016: A compelling blend of Roussane, White Grenache, and Marsanne, this wine is made with fruit cultivated at high altitude. It shows rich tropical aromas and satiny texture with notes of buttered bread complimented by a juicy finish. This wine’s official appellation is Provence but the actual vineyards, elevation, terroir and site aspect are entirely northern Rhone in everything but name. A marvelous, complex white, that is both aromatic and powerful. $57 avg price online
