Domaine de Fondrèche, Ventoux Blanc (Rhône Valley, France) 2014

($17, Robert Kacher Selection): Ventoux, an appellation in the Southern Rhône Valley, is known more for red wines than for whites.  This wine changes that impression immediately.  It’s crisp and clean, with a hint of white flowers and none of the heaviness frequently seen in southern Rhône whites.  Long and precise, it’s a revelation to see what this appellation can produce in white.
