Le Cigare Blanc, 2004

From what far-flung appellation might be dispatched a white cigar? Le Cigare Blanc is the white analogue of Le Cigare Volant, our homage to the complex blended wines of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. This iteration is dominated – strictly in the proportional sense—by roussanne. Roussanne seems to contribute a real sense of minerality to the wine. We have supplemented the roussanne with a significant fraction of grenache blanc, which adds tannic structure and an unmistakable peachiness. The wine is intensely suggestive of white peach, honeydew, lime blossom, lilac and the stony inflection contributed by an exceedingly far-off hillside.
