Custardy nose with lots of confectionery aromas and gras. Lovely sea breeze minerlity and amazing depth. So good. Palate is rich and oily but with great freshness and opulent pit fruits like peach, apricot and tangerine. Creamy and ripe but so sappy and pure. Long, oily finish. Exceptional.

Unreal nose of lime/lemon/granite zest, rich custardy fruit. Floral and just overpowering. Amazing aromas. Some nougat as well. Some apricots and peaches as well. Just insane complexity. Palate is an exercise in finesse and purity. Concentrated but super pure and delineated. Fat but not fat. Really elegant. Awesome tropical fruits and vineyard peach as well. So detailed.

Granite, honey and ripe citrus, satsuma and honeydew melon. 18 ripeness but with a brightness too. Plenty of substance, dry extract, phenolics.

Young, but great upside potential. Old vine Marsanne from the lieu-dit Aubert, east of the Sainte Epine vineyard. One of the original St Joseph appellation parcels, tended by Trollat for decades according to the spec sheet. Delightful.
