As good as Amandine’s reds are, the whites were outstanding when I tasted them at Wine Paris earlier this year. The 2024 Bel-Air Séguret Blanc Is the undisputed crème de la crème, a blend of Roussanne, Marsanne, and Viognier that sees just a few months in barrel. Sourced from the domaine’s best plots of white grapes, it’s an extraordinarily pretty yet understated offering, with a high-toned aromatic profile that piques your senses immediately. Perfumed floral notes of jasmine, honeysuckle, and orange blossom, along with faint white peach and apricot, are contrasted with bright menthol, spicy basil, and a firm, underlying minerality. The minimal oak influence is very well integrated and almost imperceptible, except on the palate, which shows a gorgeous tension between weight and energy. The flavor profile takes on more of the spicy character of the nose, with faint stone fruits and soft white flowers playing against a stony, mineral backbone. I was highly impressed by most of the 2024 white Rhônes I tasted at Wine Paris, and this was one of the best of them.
