| | Tasted by winemaker on 3/11/2019 & rated 93 points: This was really good. Stone fruits, hint of honey on the finish. Needed air and a warmer temperature to show its best. Blind you would think this was a Beaucastel Blanc. Will hold for years. Wish I had more. (445 views) |
| | Tasted by silton on 9/8/2018 & rated 94 points: 94 is an high rating for a wine whose aromas are currently playing hard to get, but the palate gave off the impression of a young Corton-Charlamagne loaded with concrete and limestone with subtle stone fruits and melon and a finish that goes on forever and ever. With all the extract and above-average acidity for a Marsanne, I'd expect this to improve over the next 5 years if not 15. (666 views) |

Flowers and spine. Definitely fills the mouth. Medium to heavy weight, good length. Slight edge on its own, but complemented poached salmon beautifully (no pun intended). (520 views) |
| | Tasted by Bob H on 2/8/2017: My 2nd time trying this wine.
Light yellow-gold in the glass; interesting nose, but I couldn't specifically point to one aspect of it that really stands out.
Taut and dry and full-bodied for a white - the label says 14.5% alcohol here, and I'd say that shows in the wine's "volume". All in, a nice complexity to this wine - definitely appeals to me. (734 views) |
| | Tasted by Bob H on 9/4/2016: Lemon-yellow in the glass; lovely nose, with the slightest hint of petrol - a lot going on here.
Medium-bodied, maybe a touch less acidity than I would prefer - there's a viscosity to this wine that almost makes you feel like you are chewing it instead of drinking it. My first time trying this, and I would have to guess off this first glance that this is certainly a white that would repay aging. (727 views) |
| | Tasted by Ericsson on 4/27/2016 & rated 92 points: Dégustation GEEU à l'Epicerie de Châteuvieux (syrahs...): L'ermitage est le nom donné en Suisse à la marsanne.
Très belle expression florale et fruitée, du gras et de la tension, une belle longueur.
Lui donner encore 2-3 ans et sera optimal. (1094 views) |
