2014 Eric Texier Côtes du Rhône Brézème Roussanne

(aged in concrete tanks): Light, bright yellow. Fresh orchard and pit fruit scents are complemented by suggestions of orange zest, chamomile and sweet butter. Sappy and energetic on the palate, offering concentrated peach and pear flavors that deepen and flesh out with air. In an ample but energetic style, finishing long and floral and with a late, bracing jolt of dusty minerality.
