A week in the Northern Rhone; 12/7/2018-12/15/2018 (Lyon, Vienne, Ampuis, Chavanay, Hermitage, Cornas, St. Joseph, Condrieu & Paris): Barrel tasted at the Domaine. 100% Marsanne from Les Rocoules - 60 yr old vines. Marc recommends holding for 10 years before drinking and wine will age for 30+ years. Wow - if the Les Greffieux was lovely this is just off the charts - white peaches and meyer lemons, a creamy mouthfeel, minerals, some zingy white pepper. Still in the blush of youth but gosh this is going to be gorgeous. Small quantities made - none available for sale. If you ever see one - grab it.

Zesty lemons, honeysuckle, and orange rind shine on the nose and on the fresh, lusty palate. Drink from 2022-2032.
