One of the most overlooked white wine categories in France is the Rhône. Compared to its reds, the region produces a much smaller proportion of white wines, and their flavor profiles can sometimes feel confounding. Rather than relying on the familiar comfort of Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc, Rhône whites are built from a multitude of varieties—Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Viognier, and others—each bringing a different layer of character. It’s time to re-examine these wines, and one of the best discoveries of the past year comes from house favorite Mas de Sainte Croix. Their Délicatesse is predominantly Roussanne, usually with a small splash of Marsanne. Subtle notes of peach, persimmon, and a hint of beeswax shape a medium-plus-bodied wine with a lovely, gently oily texture. It’s not heavy, but it is deeply satisfying on the palate. This is an ideal partner for roast chicken, grilled halibut, or pan-seared sole finished in butter. However you pour it, Délicatesse is a fantastic addition to any weeknight wine rotation.
