Rhone White Blends from Rhone, France: La Vieille Ferme Cotes du Luberon Blanc 2009

From the hillside vineyards in the ancient Côtes du Luberon, where the mistral cools the long Provençal summers, La Vieille Ferme Côtes du Luberon Blanc originates, a fruity, crisp, dry wine made from Rhône varietals: Grenache Blanc, Bourboulenc, Roussanne and Ugni Blanc. To enhance complexity and roundness, 10% of the Grenache Blanc is fermented in small, new, Limousin oak barrels. The wine has a lovely floral bouquet, hinting of spice, with fresh, lemony fruit, and a crisp finish
