If you have a white Châteauneuf-du-Pape palate but not a Châteauneuf budget, this luxuriantly creamy, peachy Côtes du Rhône from Sablet should tick all the right boxes. With turkey, the classic white blend of mostly Viognier and Clairette with Bourboulenc, Grenache Blanc and Roussanne is, I think, better than perfumed Viognier alone, having more structure. Delicious now, but worth tucking away a couple of bottles for next Christmas, too.
