Like with the Terres Boisées, the 2013 St Péray Fleur de Crussol was raised in mostly 400-liter barrels, with one-third being new. Its medium gold color is followed by terrific notes of white peach, white flowers, brioche and freshly crushed rocks. Full-bodied, rich and admirably textured, it stays fresh and lively on the finish, with good acidity. It too will drink nicely for at least 4-5 years.

A pretty wine, with captivating pear, white peach and yellow apple fruit that glistens as this races along, underscored by honeysuckle and verbena notes through the light toasty finish. Drink now through 2017. 420 cases made, 75 cases imported.??–JM??Region: France / Northern Rh?ne / St.-Péray Select to Add
