La Coudee d'Or Blanc Domaine Viret 2009 75cl

AOC Cotes du Rhone. This is a remarkable gourmet wine, made without the addition of any sulphur. It's extremely limited, made in tiny quantities, and is normally reserved by the winery for a handful of their best customers. Philippe has kindly allowed us a small allocation. We enjoyed a bottle with our lunch with Philippe and Christelle, and we were very impressed. It's rich, full and luscious without being heavy and cloying. Deep gold in colour with a nose of vanilla and caramel, flavours of citrus fruit and white chocolate. Superbly balanced with crisp acidity and a long finish. If you've ever enjoyed a white Chateauneuf you'll be very impressed with this. It's extremely difficult to make any wine without the addition of sulphur, although reds are easier as they contain natural anti oxidants in the tannins. To make a white wine with no sulphur is a feat of genius in itself - to make one this good really is a remarkable achievement. But please note, if you like a crisp white such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio, you may find the style of this wine too rich and full, so I would suggest opting for one of our low sulphite Sauvignon Blancs. It's designed to accompamy food such as cured meats, dressed salads and runny cheeses.

Due to their unique composition of natural anti oxidants rather than sulphur, these Domain Viret wines will all benefit from decanting or aerating before drinking (preferably for 30 minutes) to get the best out of them. They all open up remarkably once given the chance to react with the air, even this white wine!

A decent Chablis. Prominent fruit, well balanced with good length. Many Chablis can be a little insipid and watery, but this single vineyard one is pretty good.
