Pierre Gonon
"Les Oliviers" Saint-Joseph Marsanne-Roussanne Blend
Real tropical fruit nose almost edging into confected but then more towards the bakery and an apricot Danish. On the palate it's lighter in structure than the '10 &'11 but with a fresher acidity, be interesting to see how this ages.

Aug 14th, 2015This will make you want to drink Marsanne/Roussanne every day. Pure, crystalline melon flavors & aromatics permeate the senses with a brilliant acid/mineral tension providing structure & balance. One of the finest white Rhones I've been lucky enough to drink. Hard to find, happy when I do.

May 24th, 2015Burgundian nose, with bright quince spiciness and a lean, sharp stony minerality. Texture is equally balanced, with an exquisite fine light floral and lees character that accentuates the purity of the fruit.
