Château Puech-Haut Prestige Blanc 2019

Puech-Haut's 2019 Languedoc Prestige Blanc is a blend of 50% Marsanne, 40% Roussanne and 10% Rolle (Vermentino). Fermented in stainless steel, then one-fifth of the wine spent a short time in used barrels while the rest stayed in tank. It offers appealing aromas of melon and pear, with a medium-bodied palate and pineapple flavors, plus hints of lime on the crisp, slightly chalky finish.

Orange blossom, caramelized apricots, and citrus blossom notes all emerge from the 2019 Languedoc Prestige Blanc, a medium-bodied, nicely textured, balanced white that has plenty of richness as well as bright, juicy acidity. Based on 50% Marsanne, 40% Roussanne, and 10% Vermentino, it opens up nicely with air and is going to shine on the dinner table. Drink it over the coming year or two.
