Tasted by:
(at Decanter's August 2017 issue Southern Rhône whites Panel Tasting, 08 May 2017)
Drinking Window: 2017 - 2022
The wine is indulgent and creamy, oak apparent, but there’s fruit to match. It’s full-bodied, with ample concentrated juicy nectarine and pear fruit. It has a long, natural, acidic finish.
