Deep gold color. Initial note of oxidation quickly blows off, giving way to a lovely Roussanne nose of lanolin and yellow orchard fruit, along with a whiff of mountain stream. Broad and oily-textured, it got slightly bitter, intense flavors and great length. Probably because of the hot 15 growing season, this wine shows its relationship to the Roussannes of the Northern Rhône.

Fresh, charming, dry with minerality, hint of pain de miel. Grape variety : Roussane! Who can tell it?!

Mild-mannered, lightly alcoholic and totally pleasing Rousanne with enough acidity to lift French food.
