Côtes du Rhône Villages Sablet: Saint Gayan 2010

This superb white Sablet, made from a blend of Viognier, Bourboulenc, Clairette, Rousanne and Grenache, is fresh and dry with ample apricot and peach flavours offset by mineral undertones.

What others think of this wine...

Simon Hoggart - Spectator Wine, February 2012 says:

A shade fuller and fatter (than the Lirac: La Fermade Domaine Maby Blanc 2010) is the Côtes du Rhône Sablet Blanc from Saint Gayan, also made from the classic white grapes of the region. This is slightly smoother and even creamier than the Lirac. A very graceful wine, I thought, and again, perfect with food.
