Domaine la Bouissiere Gigondas Blanc Les Safres 2023
Gigondas is overwhelmingly red ā barely a handful of producers bother with white ā which makes this bottling from Domaine la Bouissiere a small treasure. Les Safres takes its name from the sandy soils ('safres') of the parcel, which give the wine a lift and a delicacy you don't always associate with the southern Rhone. The blend is 100% Clairette, fermented and aged in older French oak barrels on fine lees, keeping the texture detailed rather than heavy. Bouissiere is run by the Faravel family, and this is the kind of bottle that wins over skeptics of southern Rhone whites in a glass or two.
