François Villard consistently amazes me at taking white varietals that I tend not to get too excited about, and making wines out of them that make me want to sit down, stare off into space and think about stuff. 70% Marsanne, 30% Roussanne, non-sparkling St Peray. Evolves aromatically mid-whiff.......impressive.

Stage 15 TourdeFrance enters the Rhône through St. Peray. Beautiful round palate that reminds of Condrieu with complex flavors. Very nice with dried apricots.

Really into this wine. Herbaceous and round, but a good deal fresher than I expected.
