2022 Domaine La Manarine Cotes du Rhone Blanc Saint-Emilion Less Cabernet in the blendA lovely, snappy, different sort of take on Cotes du Rhone Blanc. Instead of the usual Grenache Blanc as a base, Domaine La Manarine uses mostly Clairette, with a touch of Bourboulenc. The delicious result is a fresh, ripe, peachy, stony offering that pleases the palate and will wash down all sorts of cuisine, from fish to fowl, to pork loin, hard cheeses, or even chevre. Have fun with it!
