Quince, grilled pineapple, bitter lemon, banana peel, hazelnut, marzipan, yellow flowers, tea leaf, wax, cream soda, white pepper, honey. Great viscosity balanced by phenolics and a snap of acid. This will be delicious in a few more years

Qupé’s 2016 Marsanne is gorgeous. Apricot pit, chamomile, lemon confit and flowers grace the palate in this soft, exquisite white. A healthy dollop of Roussanne plays a big role in shaping the wine's personality and overall feel. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, June 2018)

Picking up these lovely honey notes, toasted almonds, citrus blossom, w. pepper and synthetic tones. Incredibly vibrant and alive on the palate and fresh.

Quite nice, dry, brighter acidity then any other M/R I've had.

From half-bottle. Mostly shut-down. Flashes of classic Marsanne. Hold for another 4-7 years. Really pretty in those glints of openness. Rebuy. Like the upside.

Delicious and unusual combination of butter, fruit and dryness on the finish
