  This estate makes a brilliant white, and the 2018 Falaise Blanc is no exception. Based on Chardonnay, Marsanne, Petite Manseng, and Sauvignon Gris, its lighter gold hue is followed by a fresh yet also textured white that offers up lots of pineapple and white currant fruits as well as notes of toasted bread, crushed rock, spice, and a touch of flowers. Elegant, with good acidity and building richness, it’s geared for the dinner table and should keep for 4-5 years, probably longer.

  Predominantly Marsanne and Chardonnay, which makes it ineligible for the Languedoc appellation, the 2018 IGP Pays d'Oc la Falaise Blanche received three days of skin contact before being pressed to barrel for fermentation and aging. Subtle notes of toasted marshmallow and grilled white peaches appear on the nose, while the medium to full-bodied palate is silky textured, finishing with plenty of length. It should drink well for a few years. (JC)

  The first word in my note for this wine is "yum." It has tons of texture, luminous acid, and a long, long finish, showcasing delicious stone fruit notes throughout. It's a blend of Petit Manseng, Sauvignon Gris, Chardonnay, and Marsanne. The effect is a wine that's voluptuous but light on its feet, and would be great with a roasted chicken.

  This fragrant, lusty white wine from La Clape tore cartwheels through the cobwebbed corridors of Living in Covid Time, upending any dormant sputtering spiders of doubt and ennui. A liquid draught of sunlight, bees in flight and vines pendent with fruit, revealing a tapestry of aromas- lychees, marzipan, fig paste with a challenging mineral note- an homage to the life of the Mediterranean region and men and women who made it. Drink this wine with rich soft cheeses or savor it with an almond-crusted pork tenderloin.

  Negly is famous for their world-class reds but sometimes, the whites don't get as much attention as they deserve. Based in La Clape, the Falaise Blanc is declassified as its blend doesn't quite fit the appellation mold. And it's all the better for it. This blend of Chardonnay, Marsanne with a splash of Sauvignon Gris and Petit Manseng has body for days but wonderful underlying acidity. A Rhone styled-white with Burgundian sensibilities, it is filled with aromas and flavors of white flowers, candied nectarine and wet stones. It has a beautiful lift to it, supporting the body underneath. An absolute steal for the quality, which is what Negly has always done. This is not just a "red" house anymore.
