Drinks Like A White Chateauneuf At A Fraction Of The Price

Southern Rhone fans, it's time for a little treat. If you've ever enjoyed a robust white Chateauneuf-du-Pape and been surprised with its complexity, then please read on!

Impressed by the quality of the Lirac soil, the Brechet family's most recent purchase was Moulin des Chenes, a 25-hectare property of which 15 hectares were already under vine. There's a reason they were so impressed -- these particular 50-year old vines happen to be located on one of the highest and most prized sites in the entire Lirac appellation.

This unusual white wine is so very Southern Rhone. One look and you can easily guess what's in the glass. Pale gold in color, this full-bodied white wine is all about roundness and depth, along with classic baking spice notes. If it helps, stylistically you can think of white Lirac as a younger sibling to white Chateauneuf-du-Pape.

If Chardonnay or other full-bodied whites are your thing, then you should definitely give this one a try. We could easily imagine serving this wine with a cheese course, alongside a holiday turkey, or poised to the right of a plate brimming with garlic and thyme roasted chicken.

This wine was brought into MA solely for us in a very small quantity. We sampled it at a private wine tasting in Boston last spring and we knew it had to grace our shelves, if only for a short time. Without further delay, here's our weekly sale.

Regularly $19.99/bottle, now on a special one-week sale for just $14.99/bottle.

That's a savings of 25% per bottle!!!

If nothing else, it's worth sampling this wine to expand your palate and begin to truly understand the mysteries of the Southern Rhone, which is far more famous for its reds, but presents fascinating whites as well.
