Only red wine can be made under the Cahors appellation, hence the Vin de Pays moniker for this white from Jean-Luc Baldès. It is rich, creamy, touched by apricots and ripe quince. It finishes softly, warmly, rather than crisply. 1 Note

The combination of Chardonnay and Viognier produces a ripe, full-bodied wine. It has flavors of almonds and ripe quince. A delicious layer of acidity gives it freshness. This is a great Mediterranean food wine. 1 Note

A rich and creamy wine with a good balance between perfumes and freshness, allied to a touch of toast. The wine is rich, with a delicious final pear juice character. 1 Note

Lightly tropical on the nose, yet nutty and fading on the palate. There’s some dried fruit flavors and some acidity to keep it hopping. But in the grand scheme of things this doesn’t come close to taking over center stage. 1 Note

Light fragrances of talcum powder and apricots lead off this mild-mannered blend, which runs easy and smooth before thinning out on the back palate and finish. But along the way there’s good citrus and green-fruit flavors backed by adequate acidity. A good quaff for the price. 1 Note

A deceptive wine, in that it seems full-bodied but ultimately lacks concentration and depth. Melon and spice flavors support modest floral aromas. 1 Note

Broad and mouthfilling, with apple, melon and mineral flavors that fan out nicely across the palate. A nicely balanced table wine that could easily partner with fish or poultry. Imported by Winesellers Ltd. 1 Note

Interesting and not that far off the mark. Normally Chardonnay and Viognier make for clumsy partners, but not so in this case. The nose has sweet acacia blossom aromas, and that’s followed by a plump but largely anonymous palate that turns to apricots and honey on the finish. A little cloying but good in small doses. 1 Note

The 17% of Viognier added to this Chardonnay dominant blend really adds some character to the wine. Ripe aromas of honeydew, pear and preserved lemons are accented by notes of sweet grass. The medium-weight mouth offers prickly pineapple-flavored acidity as well as a touch of mango pit on the medium length finish. Drink now. 1 Note

This unusual blend of Chardonnay and Viognier combines apple and pear fruit aromas with scents of honey and crushed stones. Plump and medium-bodied, with pear and mineral flavors that add a hint of butter on the finish. Imported by Prestige Wine Group. 1 Note
