Domaine de L'Arnesque Côtes du Rhône Blanc

Most of it went in the pot, but this continues to massively over-deliver. Zesty and earthy fruit and floral flavors.

Still a delight and still far exceeding its humble station. Eight years on and showing no signs of fading.

This continues to drink nicely and massively outperform its humble station and price tag.

Pretty damn good CdR white at its price. Nice match of white fruit, tree-like herbaceousness and concrete chalkiness. After about 2 hrs air it shut down grumpily, with a bitter edge to it. Will try the rest tomorrow to see what is on the other side. But the initial pnp is a delight. For $18, pretty wow. Score: 88. Relative to expectations: ++ A day later, and the lemon and pear are more sharply delineated. The concrete bitter edge is …

This is definitely my go to white wine. No surprises, just a great tasting white cotes du rhone.

Still my favorite white

My go to wine.

Enjoyed this during this hot weather. So refreshing.

one of the best rhone blanc . that I have drank.

As with past vintages, this “little white” needs some time to round into its best form. It has put on weight, achieved better balance and added more depth. It almost gives an impression of sweetness before a dash of acidity snaps it back to order. Rather remarkable given the very modest price tag!

A beautiful white. Have to buy more.

Most satisfying white wine. So smooth. Can go with chicken, sea food, and just about anything. Drink it without food and it is enjoyable.

Uncommonly gorgeous nose. Palate not shabby either. Nice drink.
