Til dels enig. Du tænker selvfølgelig på det notorisk lave syreniveau? 2010 er dog i følgende rygterne kendetegnet ved netop deres friskhed ("White Rhone 2010: Excellent vintage in both northern and southern Rhône, led by freshness and free-flowing fruit. Good acidity, so the wines can live." John Livingstone-Learmonth, Decanter). Endvidere er det min erfaring, at vinene uden egetræ opleves ret så friske, når de nydes forholdsvis kolde og mens frugten er mest levende - på trods af deres relativt høje PH-værdi. Edit: Parker om 2009´eren (2010 endnu ikke anmeldt): "The 2009 Cotes du Rhone Blanc, which is usually 50% Viognier and the rest a blend of Roussanne, Marsanne, Clairette and Bourboulenc aged in tank, is just lovely. Fresh honeyed notes with some tropical fruits and other assorted citrus all jump from the glass of this medium-bodied, crisp, fresh wine, which over-delivers in personality, flavor and complexity. Drink it over the next 1-2 years. 89/100"

Rueda - fin ja, men stilmæssigt måske lidt for tæt op ad Loire Sauvignon Blanc, som jo vistnok bliver aftenens anden hvidvin? Guigals Cotes du Rhone giver lidt større stil- og aromamæssig spændevidde og skal nok opleves frisk (hvis bare serveringstemperaturen holdes nede - ikke noget med at fylde glas op 15 min i forvejen, Kaffe!)
Just think of the trees: they let the birds perch and fly, with no intention to call them when they come and no longing for their return when they fly away. If people's hearts can be like the trees, they will not be off the Way
