One of the whites of the vintage is the 2017 Hommage Blanc from Guillaume Fabre, which is a rock star blend of 80% Roussanne and 20% Viognier brought up in 40% new barrels. This beauty boasts fabulous notes of honeyed white peach, citrus blossom, salty minerality, and hints of buttered toast in a rich, powerful, yet oh so seamless and elegant package. It’s top-notch stuff and will shine on the dinner table. Try it next to a top Châteauneuf du Pape Blanc and see who comes out on top.

A blend of 80% Roussanne and 20% Viognier, the 2017 Hommage Blanc offers up pretty aromas of crisp apple, peach, honeycomb and white flowers. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, glossy and textural, with nice cut and energy and a chalky, penetrating finish. The blend is nicely judged, as the Viognier doesn't dominate the Roussanne. Enjoy this bright and flavorful white over the next 6 or 7 years, perhaps longer. (WK)

Light brilliant yellow. Powerful, mineral-accented aromas of orange zest, melon and pungent flowers, along with a smoky lees undertone. Broad and fleshy on the palate, offering impressively concentrated citrus fruit and honeydew flavors and a sweetening touch of vanilla. Manages to be both rich and lively and shows zero rough edges. Finishes with excellent clarity, an echo of candied citrus and a persistent chamomile note. (JR)
