Routas Coquelicot 2009

Made at Sir David Murray's wine estate in the South of France, Chateau Routas wines have achieved many distinctions, including being quoted 'one of the best wine producers in Provence' by Robert Parker. 'Coquelicot' is 80% stainless steel fermented estate Viognier from Condrieu cuttings, blended with 20% barrel-fermented estate Chardonnay. Classic viognier with an appealing nose that is redolent of almond, apricot and peach blossom. Clean and crisp with good acidity and a rounded finish. This wine is also suitable for vegetarians. "Peach flavours dominate this lush, medium-bodied white, which features honeydew melon and butter notes, with hints of cumin on the rich finish." Wine Spectator Magazine. 14% vol.
