Domaine des Pierres Seches
Gauthier Cuvee Aubert Saint-Joseph Marsanne Roussanne
St. Joseph, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
Big, fat nose with lots of so called “gras” and nougat. Good minerals. Tropical fruits. Spice. Tons of cinnamon. Very complex. That combo of exotic Roussanne and huge minerality is only the N Rhone can do. Tree bark, chestnuts, so complex. Caramel, orange blossom. So so complex. Just masterful. Palate is so elegant. My god. But ripe and rich and incredible mineral freshness and dazzling purity. Insane juiciness with lovely blood orange, mango and tangelo flavors. So so clean and pure. Lovely long finish and just awesome length, finesse and structure. Really long. Dazzling. The Xmas spices are out of control on the nose after 15 minutes. Superb. Insanely juicy and so much energy and the spice and citrus on the palate are so vivid. So unique and delicious!
