Citrus Marmalade? Coteaux du Languedoc Blanc 'Clos des Benedictins' 2009, Rolle With It

June 25, 2013 by serge the concierge

Rolle With It, Coteaux du Languedoc Blanc 'Clos des Benedictins' 2009 from Chateau La Roque is a biodynamic wine even the non-purists will like.

Rolle goes under the name Vermentino in Italy.

This white wine blend is 45% Rolle, 45% Marsanne and 10% Rousanne, golden robe, 'citrus marmalade' (says domain) and stone fruit flavors.

Winemaker suggests thyme flavoured roasted langoustine, "poulet de Bresse aux girolles", and any blue cheese as perfect pairings.

Brought to US shores thanks to Kermit Lynch.
