The 2014 'Les Safres' Blanc from Le Clos Du Caillou is a blend of 40% Grenache blanc, 30% Roussanne, and 30% Clairette. This opens with simply gorgeous aromas of Meyer lemon curd, fresh white flowers, honey, and flinty minerals. It possesses a beautiful round, silky texture, with pure fruit and acidity that flow through the palate into the long plush finish. This is outstanding now, but will certainly benifit from 2-3 years of bottle age and will flourish over the next 15 years. (Best 2019-2030) - December, 2016 (MD)
