John Livingstone-Learmonth

50-60% Marsanne, 40-50% Roussanne from sanded granite soils, youngest vines planted around early 2000s, hand harvested, fermented, raised 15% new, 85% 3-4 year 225-litre oak casks 9 months (before early 2010s aged 25% new, 75% 1-2-3-4 year 225-litre oak 9 months), no racking, regular lees stirring, egg white fined, filtered, `drink with fish, cod in sauce`. Quite a full yellow robe. The nose is quietly full, beautifully fresh, comes with a peach, ripe nectarine, banana flambé air, a musky, white raisin presence from the ripeness of the crop. The palate is most enjoyable, yum, yum. its gras is savoury and stylish, with tender flavours of white peach and white plum. There is a fine freshness, and it is very shapely, a real winner. There is a delicacy on the finish that heightens its charm. This is tremendous wine. 50% Mars, 50% Rouss - a perfect blend. 5*
