This 2006 Roussanne ought to make its way in the marketplace on the basis of its taste alone. Pungent acacia and pennyroyal in the nose lead to a surprisingly firm, bright palate with peach, peach fuzz, musky florality, and pungent herbs impressively fanning out and hanging on. I would drink it over the next year. The team of Bernard Durand and Regis Valentin is talented with more than just the classic red blends of Pic Saint-Loup. This year, they began labeling their white to call attention to its distinctiveness and perhaps make it seem more familiar to Americans.Imported by Handpicked Selections, Warrenton, VA; tel.
