Based on 45% Roussanne, 45% Marsanne, and 10% Viognier, the 2022 Côtes Du Rhône La Galopine Blanc brings a touch more richness and depth, while staying vibrant and pure. Tangerine, citrus oil, and honeyed flower notes all emerge on the nose, and it's medium-bodied, layered, and textured, with a great finish. Rating: 91 Jeb Dunnuck, www.jebdunnuck.com (Nov 2023)
Domaine des Escaravailles
Domaines des Escaravailles was established in 1953 by Jean-Louis Ferran and his two sons, Daniel and Jean-Pierre, in the village of Rasteau.
Today it is run by the third generation of the family, Gilles, the son of Daniel. With vineyards on not only the clay, limestone hillsides of Rasteau, but also in Cairanne, Roaix, Villedieu and St Roman de Malegarde. The estate is run organically and everything is done by hand with the wines made in the cellars in the heart of the property in Rasteau.
The estate takes it's name from the Occitan word for the Scarab Beetle, which you will also find adorning the labels of the wines.

Fantastic introduction to the wines of Rhone Valley. From the spice of the Syrah to the softness fruit of the Grenache to the perfumed aromas of Viognier, this is a great selection for winter warming wines or for a rack of lamb on the BBQ this summer.
