Item Description
Wine Spectator 91
"Bold, with apricot, yellow apple and melon flavors melded together at the core and backed by light ginger, persimmon and citrus oil notes on the finish. A hedonist's delight. Marsanne and Roussanne. Drink now through 2020. 760 cases made, 60 cases imported." ~ JM
Vinous Media 90
"Light straw-yellow. Ripe honeydew melon, orange, pear nectar and a hint of smoky minerals on the perfumed nose. Offers nicely concentrated Meyer lemon, pear, toasted brioche flavors and a hint of tarragon. Silky and focused on the long, mineral-laced finish, which leaves candied orange and sweet butter notes behind." ~ JR
85 Marsanne and 15 Roussanne in granite soils from two villages within the Condrieu appellation, Saint-Pierre-de-Boeuf and Chavanay. Fermented and aged in three- to five-year-old barrels for eleven months on lees, without racking.
