Note di degustazione
I always love this cuvée, and the 2015 Saint-Péray Fleur De Crussol might be the best yet. Brioche, honeycomb, crushed rock-like minerality and sautéed stone fruits give way to a rich, concentrated, beautifully textured white that has richness and freshness. Made from 100% Marsanne all from the La Côte lieu-dit, it spent 13 months in 30% new barrels. Unfortunately, I had an off bottle of the 2015 Cornas Les Vieilles Vignes, but I’ll purchase a bottle locally as soon as possible and update the report. Nevertheless, winemaker Albéric Mazoyer has produced brilliant 2015s and 2016s.

The barrel-fermented Marsanne 2015 Saint Peray Fleur de Crussol is a toasty wine, loaded with roast cashew notes and grilled pineapple. Full-bodied, broad and flavorful, it's a concentrated wine that coats the mouth with honeyed richness, lingering on the finish.
(from the estate’s oldest vines; aged for 16 months in 400-liter oak barrels, one-third of them new) Light vivid yellow. Nervy, mineral-accented orchard and pit fruit aromas show excellent clarity, and a suave floral element emerges slowly. Sappy, palate-staining pear nectar and white peach flavors are complicated by notes of violet, honey and orange pith. A minerally element adds vibrant lift and drives the finish, which hangs on with superb tenacity and a repeating floral quality.
