Tardieu-Laurent 2007 Vieilles Vignes White (Saint-Péray)

Country: France / Vieilles Vignes
Variety: Rhône-style White Blend Rhône Valley
Winery: Tardieu-Laurent / Saint-Péray

This intriguing wine displays an almost fumé-style smoky minerality on the nose, followed by flavors of pear and toast. It’s a focused, medium-bodied blend of 50% Marsanne and 50% Roussanne, with a finish that won’t quit.
