Guigal Crozes Hermitage Blanc 2017

Fresh peach, tangerine, buttered citrus and floral notes all emerge from the 2017 Crozes Hermitage Blanc, which is mostly Marsanne that had its malolactic fermentation blocked. It’s medium-bodied, nicely textured, and has juicy acidity, all making for a delicious and satisfying white that will be versatile on the table.

Some good complexity and depth here with a fleshy and ripe, melon, pear and apple core. Some white peaches, too. The palate has layered texture and beautiful, apple and pear focus. Long and even. Drink or hold.
