I had this blind with my wine group alongside a 2012 Paul Jaboulet Aîné Hermitage Blanc Chevalier de Sterimberg, and we couldn't decide which one we liked better. My first M. Sorrel wine.

60% old vine Marsanne and 40% old vine Roussanne. Seductive nose of apricot, honey and some floral notes. On the palate it's bold and there is a bit of gras as expected; jammy citrus, melon and nutty notes. It doesn't have much acidity but still it is really fresh and vibrant. Can last another 15 years but really delicious now.

By the glass. Subtle aromas of white flowers and sweet spices like vanilla or cinnamon. Nothing invasive. On the palate is an oily wine, earthy in the mineral sense of the term. Round and round with a pleasant sensation. Abundant and very long. Delicious aftertaste. Their old vines ensure, in addition, a long life. Totally recommended.
Por copas. Sutiles aromas a flores blancas y especias dulces tipo vainilla o canela. Nada invasivos. En boca es un vino oleaginoso, terroso en el sentido mineral del término. Rotundo y redondo con una sensación placentera. Abundante y muy largo. Delicioso postgusto. Sus viñas viejas aseguran, además, una larga vida. Totalmente recomendado.
