92/6/1/1 blend of Grenache Blanc, Roussane, Picpoul and Marsanne (back label), 625 cases made. Pale white, sparkling clarity. Orchard fruit and citrus in mouth - pear, orange, dried lemon, a hint of apricot. Dry, very slight seed bitterness, almost crisp. Not getting much in the way of aroma initially beyond a maybe for white floral, but it’s not Viognier either — 7 months ago

A note from last weekend at the Gold Coast. Initially too cool from the fridge so left it for 20 minutes. Mid to a deeper yellow in colour. Aromas of Apricot and Quince with a touch of honey. On the palate - quince, apricot, pear - a mouthful of deliciousness and a flavour explosion - low acid. Texturally it is unctuous with the blend being around 80% Roussane. These vines were planted nearly 100 years ago and comprise only 3 Hectares. Needless to say the quantities produced are small. Must locate more if I can find. In summary a stunning full bodied white wine. — 5 years ago

Light golden in color, with an elegant nose.

Light to medium in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing lemons, citrus, limes, green apples, light earth, herbs, spices and minerals.

Long finish with limes.

This is a very young white blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Nicely balanced with nice complexity. Elegant and fruity.

Needs a couple of years in the bottle to mature, and will continue to age nicely in the next 7 years.

Easy drinking and good by itself or with food.

A blend of 60% Clairette, 20% Grenache Blanc, 10% Bourboulenc and 10% Roussane. Aged for 8 months in stainless steel vats. A small production of only 4,000 bottles.

14% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

$80. — 9 months ago

76 year old Marsanne and Roussane vines. I can think of several Hermitage Blancs that pale in comparison to Sorrel’s C-H blanc, this is a benchmark Rhône white to me. Full of unique aromas, textural, loaded with glycerol and tannin, deeply mineral and complex, begs for the table. Roasted nuts, smashed apricots, peach skin, Rainier cherry, ripe pear, yellow flowers, root vegetables, wet stones, aniseed and honey. Hoping I will be able to age some, but most likely will drink it all up. — 5 years ago

Rich but super mineral. Deep. Dense. But not blowsy. So good. It has this dense but fresh juicy and delicious minerality. Lingering. A great wine. Roussane richness and mountain minerality. Wow.

Bought from fass selections. — 7 years ago

Smuggled this home from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. It’s superb. Dry and high minerality. 40% Clairette, 30% Grenache blanc, 15% Bourboulenc, 15% Roussane. As my man Pierre said, “a dangerous wine.” 13.5% ABV in a white will def fuck you up. — 7 years ago

40% Viognier, 31% Grenache Blanc, 22% Roussanne, 7% Marsanne. Light vanilla oak accents leading Viognier fruit, with Roussane beefing up the middle. Tasty. — 6 years ago

This is not a red wine. It is a delicious white of clairette, Grenache blanc, bourbolenc, and roussane. Cotton candy almost on the nose, strawberry, white tea, hibiscus petal. — 7 years ago
