Tasting notes
Brilliant straw-yellow. Vibrant, mineral-accented orchard and pit fruit and mineral aromas, along with a suggestion of pungent flowers. Sappy and seamless on the palate, offering intense Meyer lemon, pear and nectarine flavors that deepen and spread out slowly on the back half. Shows outstanding focus and bright mineral lift on the floral-tinged finish, which hangs on with serious tenacity.

Another beauty is the 2015 Saint Péray Prestige, which is 80% Marsanne and 20% Roussanne brought up all in barrel. Fresh, focused and lively, with the classic minerality that’s the hallmark of the appellation, it gives up lots of caramelized peach, charcoal, orchard fruits and a hint of salt block (the big block of salt that’s set out for grazing cattle or deer) in a medium-bodied, beautifully pure and elegant style.
Green-tinged yellow. Ripe citrus and pit fruit aromas are complicated by suggestions of pungent herbs and jasmine. Fleshy and seamless in texture; deep pear and white peach flavors are sharpened by tangy acidity. Excellent clarity and lift on the lingering finish, which shows a dusty mineral quality.
