Here, one of the most consistent and legendary producers of the Rhone Valley delivers a captivating blend of Marsanne and Roussanne. A combination of tank and barrel fermentation was used to provide both creaminess and intense minerality, while malolactic fermentation was blocked intentionally to retain acidity on the naturally plum white grapes. The resulting wine is rich with a full-bodied palate that supports creamy flavors of apricot, yellow peach, honey, yellow apple and citrus blossom.
Grapes are pressed upon arrival at the winery. After settling, about 50% of the must is fermented in barrel (1-year-old oak from top Burgundy producers such as Sauzet). The other 50% is given a long, cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The wine avoids malolactic to preserve the acidity and freshness.
Blend: 80% Marsanne, 20% Roussanne
