Domaine du Colombier
Crozes-Hermitage White Rhone Blend
Crozes-Hermitage, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
Deep brassy-gold. Nose is very interesting: apricot, wet carbon steel, and a sweet umami-like note that slightly conjures anchovy. Deep and extremely low-toned flavors. Very Marsanne in its broad, low-toned notes and almost pungent, slightly bitter mineral finish. Unusual, but it works.

@Delectable Wine this is white.
Amazing 15's here. Big yellow fruited nose with lovely minerality. Fat, juicy and ripe with nice opulence and purity. Also that nervy edgy Marsanne minerality. Love it. Long, not too complex but such a nice drop. Chewy on the finish and super fresh.

2023 vintage. Pretty aromatics. Medium-heavy body. Honeyed but slightly mealy. Would like to taste again in 6 months. 02.26.25.

Great fruit. Apricot. Some honey. A tad shy on mineralogy and acidity. But really great.
