Title The 2019 Vacqueyras 'Blanc du Bary' from Domaine Palon! 
Attachment  
Bulletin

Dear Arthur’s Cellar Wine Club Member:

2019 was a terrific vintage in the Southern Rhône. It is called the ‘phantom vintage’ because so few wine critics were able to visit and taste them due to the wretched pandemic. However, we have sources on site who confirm the glories of the vintage.  Domaine Palon once again produced first rate wines and the 2019 Vacqueyras ‘Blanc Blanc du Bary’is one of them. The quantity shown below is what LCBO.com has in stock as I scribble this note.

Please let me know if you would like me to place your order directly with LCBO.com for you. Just tell me how many you would like and to which LCBO retail store you would like them delivered.


2019 Vacqueyras ‘Blanc du Bary’ – 15.0% Alc./Vol.     LCBO Product No. 112796      $29.75 the bottle

Domaine Palon Vacqueyras blanc 2018

This luscious, refreshing white was crafted from 80% Clairette and 20% Grenache Blanc, both hand-picked from vines averaging almost fifty years of age. The yield was 30 hl/ha!

It is a clear, bright yellow-gold colour with a vibrant nose of pineapples, grilled almonds, peaches, pears, honeysuckle, vanilla, exotic spices, toast and minerals. It is very smooth and extremely well balanced - lots of fruit offset by a gorgeous acidity. It is fresh, complex and rich with wonderful flavours of peaches and pears. It would be perfect, served at about 8°C, with trout almandine, shell fish, fish, goat cheese and rich poultry dishes. Drinking well now and will keep for up to 5 years.


It would be most sporting if you would pass this note on to anyone you think might be interested in a very, very good white Vacqueyras.

Many thanks and cheers!

Jim, Hélène and Kate
