Vieilles Vignes Le Suchat Saint-Péray Marsanne

Superb air minerality. Honeycomb, honeysuckle, huge airiness. Dense, ethereal and layered nose. Wow. This smells like Hermitage. So refined and elite. Palate is incredibly rich and pure. So much energy. Also very very young. Acid is intense as is the finishing minerality. Superb elegance. So well knit and textured. Juicy and so so so mineral. Nimble. Shows it’s old vine breeding. So intense and sappy. Wonderful wine. Treat this like white hermitage. Wait 5-7 years.

9.3 to 9.5 on Day 2.

Sleek aromas of mineral, layered minerals. Huge Marsanne minerality. Yellow fruits, what balance, concentration and juiciness. Sick texture. How pure. Awesome. Amazing depth. This is brilliant. Nimble, long, energetic and mineral. Stunning.

Wonderful old vine Marsanne via @Lyle Fass Selections. Asian pear, acid, minerality and plenty of upside if held. We met Rémy at a Young Winemakers event in Orange in May 2019. Only remember trying his Reds that day, but will be certainly be looking for the whites going forward after enjoying this one.
