2018 Blancaneaux

38% Viognier, 38% Marsanne and 24% Roussanne. A generous crop – late bud-break and warm temperatures led to good fruit set for all the Rhône varieties. Harvest began on 5  September and ran through to 23  September. Pale lemon colour. Ripe stone fruits and a little fresh nut on the nose. The palate follows, with a hint of waxiness and generous texture. Plump and floral, with more fresh nut on the finish. (TP)
