Started broad, warm and slightly all elbows, then within minutes transformed completely. The palate became astonishingly elegant, serene and weightless, with enormous concentration, tiny-berry tropical fruit intensity, tremendous granite minerality and extraordinary texture. The warmth never fully disappears, but it integrates into the wine and somehow becomes part of its aristocratic character. Juicy, feral, mineral and profoundly refined, with the kind of effortless authority I associate with truly great wine. One of the most interesting whites I have had all year. — 4 minutes ago

Second of two bottles. First was a bit muted, second bottle had a more fragrant nose and deeper palate. — 8 months ago

Nose: intense yellow flowers. Elegant tropical flowers.

Palate: luscious tropical fruit. So delicious. Elegantly dense. A kiss of honey.

Man. I love this wine so much.

100% Savagnin made in ouillé style (topped up, non oxidized). In fact, this is Tissot’s only Savagnin ouillé, as most of their Savagnin grapes go towards the production of Vin Jaune (aged under flor, without topping-up). Complex, mineral, very tasty. Long, saline finish — 4 years ago

Great wine. Blend of Roussanne and Marsanne. Apricot, white flowers, white almonds backed with subtle vanilla. Paired with John Dory and beurre blanc. 2021 is a surprise in northern Rhône white — 16 days ago

Surprise! Was poked in 2016 and it’s still drinking nicely. Lean more muscular but interesting profile of Pinot that mashes you think about it — 8 months ago

Apricot City! Nice to compare this with Australia’s top version of Viognier, the Yalumba “Virgilius” which we had yesterday and I preferred - definitely better value for money. Richard Hemming MW thought the Stephane Ogier was light for a Condrieu. 100% Viognier, 33% new oak. — a month ago

All of the varietals come through but ultimately this is defined by its Pinot Noir polish and elegance. Light-bodied but with lively complexity of red fruit, spice and mineral. — 8 months ago
