Domaine du Colombier
Cuvée Gaby Crozes-Hermitage Blanc
Crozes-Hermitage, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
A great Rhone Blanc. Nose is rich and unctuous with yellow fruits, lots of gras, potent deep minerality, quince, citrus and some tropical fruits. Gorgeous, full and elegant aromas. Palate is super juicy and fresh with wonderful freshness and purity. Superb depth and balance. Squishy yet fresh. Wonderful texture and structure. Lanolin and caramel flavors and such terrific purity. Really long finish and clings to the palate. Waxey nose. Super expressive and open. Seems 16 N Rhone whites are open these days. Take advantage.

Nighttime action shot from a distanced meet up last night. Spice laden peach & pear. Aromatics are off the charts. Could have smelled this all night as it kept evolving. Everything is hope for in a White Rhône.

Some oak on the nose on open. Blows off after 30 palate is mildly rich with some apricots. A hint of spice. Subtly mineral. Good with the right kind of food. Not super acidic. Enough to balance the fruit
