95% Marsanne, 5-15% Roussanne from old vines of Les Recoules vineyard - The colour is glowing and full yellow. The nose is broad, prolonged with elegance centre stage; it doesn’t breathe power, has hidden depths, pork grilling airs. Variety will come along, the nose intricate within its splendour. The palate is stylish, presents fluid gras with suave texture, silken above all. It holds a really neat nugget of compote of white fruit gras richness at its centre. The palate is close-knit, tightly woven. It will declare its inner strength gradually, not excessively. There is a touch of late glow. Longevity potential until 2040. Tasted in November 2018.
