Villa Baulien, Cuvee Berengere Blanc 2014, Cateaux d’Aix en Provence, France.

Made with Rolle, 60% and Semillon 40% grapes, this is my first try of Rolle. There a clean fresh aroma of lemon and grapefruit that follows through in the taste and is added to with citrus and apple. The acidity is high, very high and the grapefruit really comes through. Its a fuller bodied wine and there is certainly strong golden colour. Put this with food such as shell fish otherwise the high acidity may be to much. It received a Comended at the 2017 Decanter World Wine Awards. At about £12 a bottle I expected more.

Macon Blanc Villages, Terres Secretes 2017, Burgundy, France

Macon Blanc Villages Terres Secretes is a value white burgundy wine. It’s a clear, clean looking wine. As with most dry white wine from the area it has aromas and flavours of citrus and yellow fruits and a little sweetness. It’s a good  balanced wine that at £12 is fairly price for a white burgundy.

Villa St Jean, pays d’oc 2017, France

Aromas of green apple and flavours of gooseberry, green apple, citrus. It’s dry and reasonably acidic. It’s a cheap white wine from France. If I was to guess, I would say southern part due to the citrus and the level of acidity. The northern part should have more acidity and greener notes.

I had this on a team building event, cooking, next to the office. Great night although got there late and missed the cooking!
