Pale lemon in colour, quite a restrained nose, bit of apricot/almond then a very soft mouthfeel, low acidity, and definitely a saline note to it. Good persistent finish, with saffron and slight bitterness hint in a good way.
It’s less full on than I expected from 80% Roussanne but none the worse for that. Very good match for the food (grilled John Dory with crab and leek risotto) . Not for long ageing, drink in next couple of years.

Very similar to previous note. Excellent with steamed fish in a saffron sauce.
