I'd gladly share this fine Southern Rhône white with my neighbor.
Château Pégau 2014 Cuvée Lône Côtes-du-Rhône ($19.99)

A pleasant earthy-chalky note pops up first in the aroma of this clear, brassy-gold wine on the first sniff, perhaps a signal of time spent on the “lees” of yeast after fermentation. It soon gives way to delicate floral notes and a whiff of stone fruit. Overall the aroma is complex and interesting, but more delicate than powerful. Peach and apricot become a bit more evident along with palate-cleansing acidity in the fresh, tart and dry flavor, but it’s subtle minerality that hangs on in a very long, clean finish. Just 12.5 percent alcohol in a well-balanced Rhône blend of 40% Clairette, 30% Bourboulenc, 20% Grenache Blanc and 10% Ugni Blanc. U.S. importer: Hand Picked Selections Inc., Warrenton, Va. (May 6, 2017)
FOOD MATCH: It’s fresh and food-friendly, a versatile match with poultry or mild vish, cheese, egg or vegetable dishes. It was fine with roasted spring asparagus with dill and pepper-scented goat cheese.
