Clos Saint-Joseph Cotes de Provence Villars-sur-Var Blanc 2020 Chateau Palais Cardinal orange peel and cedar getIn Roch's white, a blend of Rolle, Ugni Blanc, Smillon, and Clairette, you'll find lovely sun ripened fruit and a fleshy texture, true to its southern origins. And yet the precision, freshness, and minerality (and alcohol content!) are more reminiscent of whites from further north, where the Alps exert their cool, crystalline influence on local wines. Roch has a truly unique terroir, and his methods allow it to come through in full.
