Another northern Rhône white, the 2016 St Péray Vieilles Vignes knocks it out of the park with its orange blossom, marmalade, peach and honeysuckle aromas and flavors. Rich, textured and balanced, with beautiful purity, it’s a beauty that will drink nicely for 2-4 years, and cellar for even longer if you’re so inclined.

Deep straw gold. Heady nose heavily marked by Marsanne. Real tension and edge. So appetising and racy yet with great fruit and juice. It’s like biting into an exotic Asian fruit – with good acidity. Apparently this will be released only in autumn 2018, which seems a shame to me. It’s already charming and refreshing, although admittedly there’s a little chewiness on the end.

Limpid yellow gold. Intense, mineral-accented lemon curd, yellow apple and ginger scents, along with suggestions of iodine, smoky minerals and fennel. Minerally and sharply focused on the palate, offering concentrated citrus and orchard fruit flavors that deepen steadily on the back half while maintaining vivacity. Finishes with outstanding persistence and a strong echo of chalky minerals and leaves behind a refreshingly bitter lemon pith note.
