A seductive nose of cooked lemons, cooked apricots, flowers, almond powder and plenty of wild herbs. Medium body with a positive bitterness shaping the wine at the center and a creamy texture at the edges. Vibrant and focused finish with bright acidity and fresh pear character. 70% roussanne, 17% picpoul blanc, 10% grenache, 2% bourboulenc and 1% clairette blanche. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
A dramatic display of dusty florals, lemon oils, melon and crushed almond waft up from the 2021 Esprit de Tablas Blanc. This is texturally thrilling with depths of ripe apple and sweet inner florals, all perfectly accentuated by zesty acidity. It finishes long and full of tension with a pleasant inner sweetness, lingering on young peach and mineral notes. Bury the 2021 in the cellar. It's a beauty. The Esprit de Tablas Blanc is a blend of 70% Roussanne, 17% Picpoul Blanc, 10% Grenache Blanc, 2% Bourboulenc and 1% Clairette Blanche.
