Château Simone Blanc (1500) 2016 mauro-franchino savoury elements and herbal liftThe white from Simone is a truly unique creation based primarily on Clairette that is supplemented with Grenache Blanc, Bourboulenc, Ugni Blanc and a touch of Muscat Blanc. The white, brisk in its youth, animated by a bouquet of pine resin, evolves slowly into a sensual masterpiece with its lingering finish built on a mass of minerality. This is a remarkably age worthy wine with the potential to give ever more pleasure over a span two decades or more.
