($14, Ex Cellars Wine Agency):  Although the vast amount of wine produced in the Rhone Valley is red, consumers should explore the small amount of white wines that originates there because they offer richness and body.  The only potential downside of Rhône whites, which Guigal avoids, is that they can come across as heavy if they have insufficient acidity.  Guigal, whose red Cotes du Rhône is always easy to recommend (2006 reviewed previously), has fashioned a very pleasing white with excellent uplifting acidity.  Floral elements–presumably from including Viognier in the blend–augment the characteristic apricot and peach nuances.  This is an excellent introduction to white wines from the area. 87 Michael Apstein Jun 8, 2010
