White wine. Southern Rhône, France. Organic. 90% Clairette, 10% Bourboulenc. "A blend of 90% Clairette and 10% Bourboulenc, the 2018 Cairanne Blanc la Jean de Verde was barrel fermented in a single second-use demi-muid; there are a total of around 700 bottles. It's a bit smoky on the nose but also boasts enticing aromas of pineapple, rosemary, pine resin and honey. It's medium to full-bodied, adding ripe melon notes on the palate, which remains fine, precise and elegant, finishing long and mouthwatering." — 94 Points, Joe Czerwinski, Wide Advocate #245 (October 2019)
