An outstanding French white, especially at this price point, the Cotes du Rhone Blanc from Les Hauts de Barville is one of the best we've ever tasted for $11.99. Even in the challenging 2021 vintage, the Esprit Barville is fresh and  bright, with vines planted on terroirs with greater sun exposure, on the right bank of the Rhone River, grown in higher altitudes. This helps to create white wines with amazing richness and minerality, without losing acidity and balance. Loaded with aromas of green apple, melon and citrus, there is a fat richness to the palate without being over saturated and flabby. Terrific minerality with a crisp, clean finish. This French white is the hidden gem of the fall!

"A terrific white that has notable freshness and purity, the 2021 Cotes du Rhone Esprit Barville Blanc offers classic notes of poached pear, apple and assorted orchard fruits in a medium-bodied, clean, crisp package." The Wine Buyer, 91 Points
