2021 M. Chapoutier Crozes-Hermitage Blanc Les Meysonniers, France, Rhone, Wine Review
This is 100% Marsanne from the northern Rhone Valley in France. Golden in color, clear and bright. The nose is great. Earthy (think freshly tilled garden) with wax, slight quince, and almonds. Full bodied. Slightly oily texture. On the palate, waxy with great minerality and slight bitter almond note on the finish. Delicious. This is nice on its own but even better with food. It went well with vegetarian Spring Rolls. Drink over the next five to eight years.
