Château Puech-Haut - Tête de Bélier 2010

Rating: Robert Parker 88-89+/100
There is no shortage of adjectives to describe this estate’s flagship white wine: Tête de Bélier . It is charming, fresh, surprising, opulent, balanced… and harmoniously blends Marsanne, Roussanne, and Grenache Blanc… A wine that is a success year after year… Quite simply, a great white wine from the Languedoc!
