  September 25, 2023 - Goutait cette fois formidablement bien, sur la douceur, d’abord sur des arômes boisés-vanillés (finement salin, un peu a la meursault), puis s’est détaché de son élevage pour aller vers l’acacia, les epices douces, et évoquer franchement son pédigrée rhodanien.

  March 9, 2023 - Sur la réduction, il est resté capricieux aromatiquement.
  Dommage car cela lui conférait une austérité un peu sévère… et un peu d’amertume aussi.
  Rondeur et puissance se conjuguent en bouche, ou la mineralité vient mettre tout le monde d’accord!
  Grillé, fumé, allumette craquée, acacias, poivre et amande amère élaborent un cocktail imprécis que le temps devrait améliorer. Longueur correcte mais un poil de So2 en trop a mon goût.
  Un vrai vin de gastronomie (poulet aux morilles, poissons crémés, gratin d’écrevisses)…
  89-91+?

  October 1, 2022 - Love Norther Rhone wines of any colour, and this my very first Saint-Peray is no exception. Made from single varietal 80 year old biodynamic Marsanne. Aged for 16 months oak, 30% new. Medium+ golden colour amber hue. Aroma of acacia, yellow apples, toasted honey, vax, hint of caramel. Palate is powerful and concentrated with smooth texture and rich flavours of toast, yellow apples, roasted cashew nuts, mid acidity with touch of bitterness.

  October 22, 2019 - Rhone Commanderie dinner (Little Park): Ever since Pascal suggested to us last year that the up and comers in the Rhone included St Peray whites we've all been trying quite a few of these. This one was fairly nice. It's rounder and lower acid than some others that I've had. I get a bit of honeydew and white melon. Went nicely with some more bold seafood (e.g. baby shrimp and cucumber).

  May 28, 2018 - Weekly tasting group RWP #288: Complete surprise which appeared to be Rhone. (@ JdB): In the bouquet flowers and vanilla. On the palate full bodied and a bit fat, some medicine, butter and minerals. Beautiful acidity and some pleasant sweetness. Beautiful and tasty wine. 90 - 92
