Château de Montfaucon Lirac Blanc Comtesse Madeleine

Oaky Ripe Lemon with almond and vanilla. Rich and expressive, with flavors of ripe pineapple, apricot, and pear. Elegant and well-balanced overall. Marsanne provides weight and structure, Grenache Blanc offers open fruit notes, and Clairette contributes acidity.

Very nice, full-tasted and balanced whitey with strong salty fish and wildhog terrine.

Bottle 1/3 Nose - stone fruited Palate - full, nice bitterness, moderate acid, great texture. Some fruit, but also savoury notes, honeyed

Very good white Rhône blend, suits well with many types of lighter food

Very subtle nose showing a bit mineral aromas. Medium bodied, dry, crisp, very subtle and elegant, showing discreet grapefruit and white fruits with a streak of minerality and firm acidity. Had a bottle at King Crab House (Levi) with the seafood platter that was a great match.

appearance - mid gold nose - mead, ripe pear, hint of apple, summer blossom palate - high acidity; ripe pear, quince paste, sharp apple, citrus peel, salinity and spice on the finish; very good length. Quite unusual - we haven't drunk many white Rhones, mind - but an really lovely, well balanced, interesting wine.

Very good tender and smooth but still full and tasty wine, matches very well with salty fish
