Mas Carlot Blanc, Cuvée Tradition, Costières de Nîmes 2018

Mas Carlot white, of marsanne, rousanne and viognier, is a delicious summer white alternative to chardonnay or sauvignon blanc and just as good as the red.

Costières de Nîmes, south west of Châteauneuf and to the north of the Camargues, makes some of the loveliest and best value wines in France. Mas Carlot, in the opinion of Hugh Johnson and Robert Parker, is one of, if not the very best of the appellation and its vintages regularly get 2 or 3 stars in the Guide Hachette des Vins.

In the 18th century, the estate belonged to Admiral Grasset, and is now owned by Nathalie Blanc-Mares, a distinguished oenologist and with her husband Cyril, both consummate vignerons.

Tasting note:
Fresh and lively with ripe tropical fruits, good minerality and hints of spice. Lovely long refreshing finish. A very classy wine at this price.
