Great Southern French White

Bordière Nord Marsanne voigner 2011 PGI Pays d'Oc £6.49 at Majestic Wine

Another bargain from Majestic that shows the raising quality of southern France, the label boasts of a marriage of new and old world styles and I can see what they mean. This white wine is greenish gold in colour with a heady aroma of peaches and almonds with a nutty note from the Marsanne grape. There is plenty of sweet citrus flavours, particularly tangerine with tropical pineapple too. The flavour is full, opulent and aromatic; imagine peaches and cream eaten with a wooden spoon. Its very good, fresh, crisp and rich.
