The 2008 Cotes du Rhone Belleruche blanc is an impeccably well-made white offering floral, mineral, honeyed grapefruit, and white citrus notes. Crisp and fresh, it is ideal for near-term consumption. Michel Chapoutier fashions some terrific low-end wines that sell for a song, and in 2007, they are of exceptionally high quality. The handful of 2008s I tasted also look very good for the vintage. These are sleeper selections, especially his La Ciboise and Estubiers from the Coteaux du Tricastin. Importer: Paterno Imports, Lake Bluff, IL; tel. (847) 604-8900
