This wine, a blend of 40% Marsanne, 40% Roussanne, and 20% Viognier, is an impressive southern Rhone white with high extract, elevated levels of glycerin, and copious quantities of full-bodied, glycerin-imbued, fleshy flavors suggestive of cloves, butter, roasted nuts, and peaches. Complex, thick, and juicy, it will provide ideal drinking over the next year.
Even before my book on the Rhone Valley was published last year I had been touting the wines from this exceptional estate in the Cotes du Rhone village of Cairanne. The newest releases are impressive wines that should be sought out by Rhone Valley enthusiasts, as well as readers looking for wines with considerable personality and flavor.
