A blend of 80% Roussanne and 20% Clairette (with the Roussanne barrel-fermented and aged), the 2017 Ventoux Quintessence Blanc has hit new highs. Delicate notes of pencil shavings accent honeyed pineapple in this medium to full-bodied wine that's round and rich in the mouth yet balanced by bright acids and hints of lemon and lime zest on the long, mouthwatering finish.
