Varietal

Grenache Blanc

Grenache Blanc is a white grape varietal primarily grown in Southern France and Spain. Known for its full-bodied wines, Grenache Blanc offers flavors of green apple, pear, and citrus, often accompanied by herbaceous and floral notes. It thrives in warm, dry climates and is typically blended with other varietals like Roussanne and Marsanne to add freshness and acidity. The wines can range from crisp and zesty to rich and oily, depending on the winemaking style. Grenache Blanc's versatility allows it to pair well with a variety of dishes, including grilled fish, poultry, and Mediterranean cuisine. Despite its lower profile compared to its red counterpart, Grenache Blanc is valued for its ability to produce complex and well-balanced wines.

Country

United States

Of all the New World wine countries, perhaps the one which has demonstrated the most flair for producing high quality wines - using a combination of traditional and forward-thinking contemporary methods - has been the United States of America. For the past couple of centuries, the United States has set about transforming much of its suitable land into vast vineyards, capable of supporting a wide variety of world-class grape varietals which thrive on both the Atlantic and the Pacific coastlines. Of course, we immediately think of sun-drenched California in regards to American wines, with its enormous vineyards responsible for the New World's finest examples of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot based wines, but many other states have taken to viticulture in a big way, with impressive results. Oregon, Washington State and New York have all developed sophisticated and technologically advanced wine cultures of their own, and the output of U.S wineries is increasing each year as more and more people are converted to their produce.

Region

California

California as a wine producing region has grown in size and importance considerably over the past couple of centuries, and today is the proud producer of more than ninety percent of the United States' wines. Indeed, if California was a country, it would be the fourth largest producer of wine in the world, with a vast range of vineyards covering almost half a million acres. The secret to California's success as a wine region has a lot to do with the high quality of its soils, and the fact that it has an extensive Pacific coastline which perfectly tempers the blazing sunshine it experiences all year round. The winds coming off the ocean cool the vines, and the natural valleys and mountainsides which make up most of the state's wine regions make for ideal areas in which to cultivate a variety of high quality grapes.

Appellation

Monterey County

Monterey County is located within the state of California, and whilst it may not be the most renowned wine producing region in the state, recent decades have proven that the wineries situated there are dedicated to raising their profile, and producing wines of singular quality and distinction. The warm, sunny summers which Monterey County enjoys help the wine-makers of the region cultivate an impressive array of grape varietals, mostly of French and Italian origin, including fine varietals such as Barbera, Cabernet Franc and Dolcetto, amongst many others. It is a center of viticultural experimentation, and also features many sustainable, organic and biodynamic wineries which are producing superb wines, packed with distinctive local flavors and characteristics.

Wine Advocate

90-92 Tasted as a tank sample prior to bottling, the 2024 Grenache Blanc Michaud Vineyard combines aromas of stone fruit and citrus rind and presents a nimble, refreshing palate. It finishes with a mineral-tinged note and a core of succulent fruit flavors.

WS 92pts

Wine Spectator

An intriguing play of contrasts, this offers hints of brioche and blanched almond. The palate, centered on fresh, vibrant Asian pear and lemon and crunchy minerality, gains a bit of richness from a vanilla-and-honeyed edge that swirls in on the finish. Drink now. 117 cases made.

VM 90pts

Vinous Media

The 2024 Grenache Blanc Michaud Vineyard is much softer than the 2023 tasted alongside, missing the cut and focus. Golden orchard fruit, orange peel and exotic spices blossom nicely with air, leading to a plush, rounded finish.
