Complex nose. Lemon, white flowers and tropical fruits, mineral and some smoky aroma. Wine is rich, full bodied and mouthful showing honey suckle nectar notes and much oak. Very long lingering finish revealing minerality on the palate

Southern Rhone visit - May 2, 2014; 5/8/2014-5/20/2014: Winery visit- Complex aromas of butterscotch, spice and florals- intense. Richly flavored with notes of spice and butterscotch, highlighted by bright stone fruit and rocky minerality. Polished and deep and bright, well balanced and very long finishing notes. Awesome juice.

best of a 3 roussanne tasting of Qupe, L'Avion and la Fontaine. All fabulous but this was consensus winner. quince, persimmon, lemon, key lime and long finish. some lavendar.

refined, seductive roussanne. reminiscent of Ch Beaucastle Veille Vignes blanc CNdP which is nearby at a fraction of the price . Verbena and lavender nose, extreme depth and concentration with isolated flavors hard to discern in its youth- lemon, candied violets, beeswax now. long finish. Had with moules and handled epoisses course.

Beautiful Ch9dP, honey, brioche and still fresh. Give this wine 3+ years and it will be even better
