Les Figuiers Blanc St. Péray White Rhone Blend

At 5 years old this is gorgeous. Really gorgeous. White peaches, wet earth, lanolin, iodine, such purity and vivid details. Palate is juicy and explosive with tremendous freshness and energy. So so pure and delicate with top top finesse. I love white rhone. Long, delineated finish. So so long. Wow. Amazing texture. This is brilliant!

Palate is mineral. Lovely.

May 15th, 2018Juicy pear, lemon peel and macerated orange mix with a mineral, floral element in the slightly reticent nose. Textured and thrice with a creaminess for the Roussane. Citrus fruit and almond paste flavors lead to a broad, lengthy finish.

Apr 30th, 2018Delicious, full, bright but delicate, so well rounded. Not crazy dry but on that side. Mineral and floral. Fresh cut.
