White Wine

Courtois La Source 2023, Côtes Du Rhone, Rhône A.P., France: Drawing from the renowned white varietals of the Rhône—Clairette, Grenache Blanc, Marsanne, Roussanne, and Viognier—this blend is expertly unified to create harmony both in its bouquet and on the palate. The aroma unveils notes of sun-ripened pear, luscious apricot, and refreshing muskmelon, accented by a delicate trace reminiscent of neroli. On tasting, the wine displays a supple, rounded profile with a satisfying body that is buoyed by a burst of white grapefruit, all culminating in a subtle, shale-inflected dry finish. A superb value, it pairs beautifully with dishes such as vegetable lasagna or shrimp tempura. Food pairings: vegetable lasagna, shrimp tempura, fried calamari.
