Wine Reviews
A suave, stylish white that reflects the cooler vintage in its leaner frame. Racy acidity powers nectarine, green melon, white pepper and honeysuckle blossom notes framed by wet stone and a saline streak. Shows purity and focus.
Pure Marsanne, contour-planted on loess, the 2021 Crozes Hermitage Blanc Domaine de Roure is a strong offering, regardless of the vintage’s travails. Crushed stone accents attractive pear and white peach shadings on the nose, while the palate is medium-bodied but with a silky, generous feel and a long, anise-tinged finish.
The refreshing 2021 Crozes-Hermitage Blanc Domaine de Roure vividly displays spring blossom, lemon flesh and white peach. Discrete cedar and vanilla complement the aromatic profile. Medium-bodied and framed by lively acidity, the 2021 showcases spot-on balance and ends with a sapid finale. Readers should note that this wine was not bottled in the 2020 vintage.
The nose of acacia, orange blossoms and citrus is so delightful you could linger there. Terrific vitality and juiciness on the medium-bodied palate for this appellation. The chalky acidity gives it excellent drive that the zesty citrus character deftly complements.
