  Needs at least an hour—ideally 2–of air. Still young. Next bottle probably in 5 years…
  
  Amazing mouthfeel — stood up to bacon-wrapped scallops beautifully.

  Tasted alongside Chapoutier Chante-Alouette 2019. Interesting comparison of White Rhônes grapes (marsanne vs roussanne). I prefered The Hermitage but the Beaucastel is also a beautiful wine. Richer fruits with mineral notes.The hermitage had more acidity to keep it more balanced.

  One of the great white wines of the world (and compared to the best burgundy chardonnays this is a steal) - this Roussanne is rich, powerful and thick. Flavors of pineapple, almond and candied citrus linger long after the first sip.

  I thoroughly enjoyed this wine. It has an intense yellow transparent appearance. Notes of nuts, flowers, peach, mango. Seemingly a touch sweet but with ample acidity and minerality to balance that out. Full bodied and intense. I happen to enjoy this style of wine but not everyone will.
