2008 Mas Carlot Clairette de Bellegarde (France)
2008 Mas Carlot Clairette de Bellegarde ($9.99)
From the appellation of Clairette de Bellegarde, made of the Clairette vareital, an exhilarating wine showing freshness and fragrance too, prominently fresh-cut limes, full and fleshy pears, lemon zest, it has simply mouthwatering qualities. Mineral notes, ripe and resonant fruit with fresh and vibrant acids too. This is a complete wine! Incredibly low yields from 60 yr vines, and a very low production. The Best $10 white wine of 2009.
90 Points, Rhett Beiletti

The low yields made the fruit on this wine really stand out. Thanks to Rhett for another great suggestion.
