Description
What Burgundy does for Chardonnay, the northern Rhône does for Rousanne and Marsanne and this is an exhilarating example: plush fruit, rock melon, peach, jasmine, licorice, turkish delight/rose water, and the full fireworks display of barrel ferment complexity (without which very few white wines attain true greatness), while the palate is medium-bodied with wonderful smooth texture, mouthfeel, flavour follow-through, and persistent dry zing. Drink now to 2030. 60% Rousanne and 40% Marsanne.
