Crozes-Hermitage Blanc

Marsanne-Roussanne blend - the proportions vary vintage to vintage, with Roussanne sometimes leading and sometimes the junior partner. Direct press, native ferment, ageing in old demi-muids or used barrels (no new oak), bottled without filtration or added sulphur. Crozes-Hermitage Blanc tends to show more orchard fruit and honey weight than the Saint-Joseph Blanc - a richer, broader expression of the same Marsanne-Roussanne idiom in the same low-intervention frame.
