This wine is broad and rich without being too weighty, exactly the texture that I like my Rhone whites to have- this way they can be experiential and still be balanced and full of nuance. On the nose there is honey, apricot, peaches and cream, saffron, and lemon curd. The palate is lime and lemon with more honey and a touch of chamomile. The mouthfeel is broad like brûlée, with a long sultry finish.
The age of this wine is really special. Roussanne sings after 5 or 6 years so this is just hitting its prime.
This wine was fermented naturally and aged in neutral French oak for 16 months.
