| Community Tasting Notes (average 89.4 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 11 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Susaninaustin on 2/17/2020 & rated 90 points: 3 (638 views) | | | Tasted by Elycohn on 3/12/2019 & rated 92 points: The Faury wines have a quiet confidence and subdued boldness that I like. My 2012 is alive with good acid and fatty oil for texture. Pale golden with fresh yellow peaches, ropes orange, and starfruit. Bold and gentle. (768 views) | | | Tasted by James Kim on 4/20/2017 & rated 90 points: 60% Marsanne 40% Roussane. Initially, tart apples, unripe peaches, and minerals. With time and air, aromas of tart apples, peaches, and some marzipan. Palate now really nice blended apples, marzipan, minerals, herbs. Nice acids that lift the palate. Nicely done. (848 views) | | | Tasted by gretsch2holton on 2/27/2016 & rated 87 points: Very light. Has some vanilla and faint almond aromas. typical Rhone white alc presence. Easy drinking and pleasant but need lightly falvored fare. (1616 views) | | | Tasted by gretsch2holton on 1/9/2016 & rated 90 points: Lovely. Floral/fruit nose. Balanced no burn. drinks now. more attrsctive than many no. rhone whiltes (1644 views) | | | Tasted by LW31 on 11/4/2015: Very faint, dry fruit, and underwhelming experience. Will revisit, but at the moment a wine without much character. (1443 views) | | | Tasted by Woodbridge Brad on 9/3/2015 & rated 88 points: Very dry, slightly aromatic, well balanced, quite lovely. Not usually my favorite grapes but this is quite nice. (1373 views) | | | Tasted by Gargantua on 9/12/2014: Mismash of hasty impressions from Winebow and Regal Portfolio Tastings (NYC): What a gorgeous nose. Waxy, creamy character probably due to the Marsanne. Palate is so spicy it almost makes me wonder about oak, but no oak here; just the creaminess of the Marsanne. Perhaps vanillin from barriques and demi-muids. (2950 views) | | | Tasted by MattMauldin on 5/13/2014: Northern Rhone visit April 30, 2014; 5/8/2014-5/15/2014: Winery visit- Aromas of pear, apple and mineral. Richer on the palate, showing plenty of honeysuckle and spice to along with the ripe stone fruit and apple. Nicely balanced showing fine polish and medium acid and full flavors on the finish. Very good. (1789 views) | | | Tasted by yofog on 5/2/2014 & rated 90 points: Soft yet steely, with white fruit and flowers. Could almost be confused for Chalonnaise in a blind setting. Really nice.

Regional History:
Phocaean Greeks established viticulture in the Rhone as far back as 600 BC, but until the 14th century the wines were not seen outside the region. The establishment of the Avignonese Papacy (1305-1377) brought fame to the region's wine-so much so that their Burgundian neighbors to the north banned wines from the Rhone in 1446, a measure that effectively cut off trade with England and other Northern European markets for over 200 years. Stretching southward from Lyon to just south of Avignon, the Rhone produces a wide variety of wines, with the appellations north of Valence producing the least (in volume), and the towns south of Montelimar producing prodigious amounts. As in other regions, the most interesting wines come from small farms. Saint-Joseph, in the northern Rhone, extends for some distance between Condrieu in the north to Saint-Peray in the south. The reds are made from Syrah and the rare whites from Marsanne and Roussanne, and Viognier.
