Reviews and Ratings

Courtney Flood rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Elegant and fresh wine, perfect for pairing with seafood! Fresh peach, green apple, and apple blossom. Very fresh sipper with apple, lemon, lime, apple and a long dairy cream finish. Medium body.

Paired with salmon Wellington stuffed with sautéed leek and chard, inspired by recipe in Holiday 2015 Food & Drink.
Carola Price rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Floral nose but soft. Medium bodied and very well balanced. Green apple and some citrus notes with a floral overtone. I love the acidity all the way to the end. Pair with grilled fish, light cheeses and grilled vegetable pasta with arugula pesto.
Drink now to 1 year.
Alex & Priya - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Alex: Drops of peach tart and honey, windswept by a seabreeze. Exotic summer flowers on display here as well, very pleasant nose. Voluptuous, fresh and powerful palate, Creamy in texture and quite bitter as well. Big for a lot of seafood, with the exception of scallops in a butter sauce. Moving up to chicken with a lemon and herbs dressing on this one. Fine stuff. 90pts

Priya: A bit tart and bitter for me...a strange combo really. I find it hard to get passed that to be able to enjoy the wine. I would probably like it better with food, maybe a pasta in a lemon and olive oil dressing? Yes, because this has hints of lemon and lime to it. 86pts
Olivier de Maisonneuve rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

I'm quite in love with the Roussillon region.Its landscape is so spectacular. This white's nose is very like a summer breeze,with also some citrus zest. It's quite fresh and elegant.Very dry. Enjoyable by itself,and also with seared scallops,and fried calamari.
Emilie Ryan rated this wine as 81/100 with the following review:

Good for seafood or spicy dishes…
Presentation: Classic, simple
Appearance: Very light yellow
Nose: Floral, white peaches, minerals
Taste: Grass, minerals
Finish: Aggressive floral, grapefruit, grass
Overall impression: A wine with a pleasant nose but aggressive back. If you like Sauvignon Blanc, you’ll like it. If you don’t, then try another wine instead.
Value: 3/5
The 2014 vintage of this southern French white wine Côtes du Roussillon Centenaire Blanc is a blend of 80% Grenache Blanc and 20% Roussanne grapes. - Community Wine Reviews
