Domaine Galévin Cotes-du-Rhone Blanc 2011, £11.80
Virtually unknown in the UK, Coralie Goumarre has about 20 vintages under her belt at this organically farmed estate, and is highly regarded by French and American critics for her white and red Chateauneuf-du-Pape wines.
This week’s wine is the little brother of the astonishingly delicious white Chateauneuf which we also sell. Despite its lowly appellation, this Cotes-du-Rhone blanc is a deliciously smoky, complex blend of three important Rhone grape varieties, namely clairette, marsanne and roussanne.
The flavour is a winning combination of lemon zest and fresh almond, a lick of oak and a dash of cream, rounded off with a beautifully nutty, sesame seed character.
As the weather turns chilly, this is a perfect autumn white that resembles nothing so much as a high-end white Burgundy. The best bit? It's £11.80.

The lovely guys at Theatre of Wine don't have an online shop yet - but they do offer UK-wide delivery, so just give them a call or drop them an email. Happy Wine Wednesday!
