Note di degustazione
The 2015 Saint-Péray Pur Blanc continues to drink beautifully, and it’s unquestionably one of the wines of this terrific appellation. Made from 100% Marsanne from very old vines (some upwards of 100 years or more in age), it offers lots of caramelized stone fruits, white peach, crushed rocks, and honeysuckle. Thick and unctuous on the palate, it’s gained depth and richness since I tasted it last year and is just singing today, with incredible depth of fruit as well as a freshness and purity that keeps you coming back to the glass. I’d drink bottles over the coming 4-5 years, or cellar for a decade or more.

Limpid yellow. Fresh citrus and pit fruits on the incisive nose, along with suggestions of jasmine and iodine. Deeply concentrated but minerally and sharply focused, offering palate-staining tangerine, pear and fennel flavors underscored and lifted by a vein of zesty minerality. Shows outstanding energy and thrust on the strikingly long, minerally finish, which emphatically echoes the floral note. These are reportedly the oldest vines in the appellation and most of them pre-date phylloxera.
One of the finest St Péray I’ve tasted (along with Michel Chapoutier’s St Péray Lieu-Dit Payrolles) is the 2015 St Péray Pur Blanc. This wine is 100% Marsanne from 100-year-old vines and raised in barrels. This sensational white offers awesome notes of caramelized peaches, brioche, crushed rocks and white flowers. These give way to a medium to full-bodied, elegant, yet layered and rich St Péray that has integrated acidity and a great finish. A testament to the quality that’s possible from this appellation, it will keep for 10-15 years.
Pale gold. Deep-pitched, mineral-laced aromas of poached pear, lemon curd and honey are accented by floral and anise scents. Supple and broad in the mouth, offering fresh orchard and pit fruit flavors and hints of citrus pith and nougat. Shows impressive power as well as vivacity on the penetrating finish, which leaves behind notes of bitter pear skin and smoky minerals.
