St. Péray, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
Pretty wine, showing peach and lime with a chalky finish. Worth every bit of the €8.50 I paid.

100% marsanne from St. Peray, the southernmost part is the Northern Rhône. Most wine from this very small AOC is sparkling, but this is a still wine grown on chalky limestone soil. Pale yellow in the glass with a flowery bouquet, some apricot, a little bit of herbaceous funk. Medium acid, a little bit fat, but enough brightness to keep it lively. A bit of mineral chalkiness, lavender and citrus on the palate, relatively short finish. Tasty but not very complex. Best young.

Golden raisin color. Citrus, green fruit notes (Lime, Lemon) on the nose and has earthy undertones of green bell pepper. Slight vanilla and golden raisin. Medium bodied, has stainless steel chard qualities
