From the granitic soils around Tournon, Marsanne vines around 60 years old. Certified organic and biodynamic. Cask sample. Intense, rich aroma of nutty pears and creamy, lightly toasty oak, with just a tiny hint of struck match. Both full of fruit and savoury/spiced. Utterly inviting. On the palate, lovely depth of honeyed citrus (yet bone dry) and fresh pears. The texture is beautifully rounded. Deep rather than heavy, with good freshness on the long finish. The acidity is more evident than in the Ermitage whites. Harmonious and flavourful if not subtle.
