While the Rhône Valley is known for exotic white blends, this is one region where Marsanne particularly stands out, often alone, as it does in this lovely white. The wine is a very clean, but full-bodied white with a general warm fruitiness, like mellow apples and a whiff of vanilla, before a delightful peppery finish.
