Tonight I found this 2012 Saint Roch Côte du Roussillon Vieilles Vignes Grenache Blanc-Marsanne. A blend od 80% Grenache Blanc and 20% Marsanne.
The nose has notes of pinapple, pear, honeydew melon, cream, mango and wet gravel.
On the palate I am getting white peach, pear, beeswax, saline, lemon curd and wet gravel.
This is medium bodied and probably getting to the end of its life witha smooth mouthfeel, medium acidity and a medium length minimal citrus crushed rock finish. I hope everyone is well on the cusp of the weekend. Please continue to be safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🥂🥂🥂

Maury Sec doesn't apply to whites I guess...but this is very pretty, and perfect with smoked ricotta agnolotti.

The palate brings on peach, guava, lychee fruit with saline minerals and a oily mouth feel. I was hoping for a lot more but it is an easy quaffable wine. Just hoping for more from this wine.
