This white wine is a "Vin de Pays" from France, which designates that it is a step above table wine, but is below the VDQS and AOC classifications. These designations signify that a wine is made according to certain specifications, with the rules being more stringent for higher classifications than lower ones.
I paid around $7-8 for this bottle from World Market. It was pale yellow in color, and gave off delicate aromas of flowers and citrus fruit. On the palate, it had nice acidity (not overwhelming), and was bursting with graprefruit and white peach. This medium-bodied white wine had a great balance between acidity and sweetness, with just enough of both. It had decent length, and a good harmony of flavors.
All in all, this is a white worth noticing. It had great flavor and value for the price.
My Grade: +++
