Saint Chinian White by Neil Cammies - 11/2020

The CALMEL & JOSEPH ‘LES CRUS’ SAINT-CHINIAN BLANC 2018 is a rare thing indeed, with the Saint-Chinian commune being primarily a red wine area. But the chaps have herded together a quartet of some tasty white varieties – grenache, blanc roussanne, vermentino and viognier – to create a proper tasty drop. The bouquet has the most bounteous stone and orchard fruit aromas, which are held aloft by some savoury wood tones straight off the vine from the six months ageing in oak, that add a smidge of smoke to the nose. On the palate, there is a floral delicacy initially to the peach and apricot fruit. Then, crisp citrus acidity dashes in through the mid-palate, giving the wine a freshness and elongating the time on the tastebuds. The mineral tone comes through on the generous finish in this lovely white Saint-Chinian.
