Château Rouquette sur Mer, Cuvée Arpège, La Clape, 2017

92
Tasted by: Rosemary George MW
Drinking Window: 2018 - 2022
From a long-established estate in La Clape, a blend based on Bourboulenc with Roussanne. Light in colour, a fragrantly fresh herbal nose and good salty acidity on the palate, with a refreshing finish. Contrasts nicely with this producer’s more serious oak-aged Cuvée Henry Lapierre.
