Description
The blend is 95% Marsanne and only 5% Roussanne sourced from terraces of roiled pebbles on clay and limestone at around 140m altitude. No malolactic conversion in 2022 makes a delicate nose full of white flowers and peach notes, and a bright palate with apricot and orange flavours. The finish is clean and mineral with a hint of salinity.

Critics reviews
Alistair Cooper MW 16.5/20
15,000 bottles produced.An attractive nose, has a streak of crystalline honeycomb and lime skin. The palate is appealing and has good freshness along with some attractive fruit weight. I like the purity and there is a fresh, energetic, ripe stone-fruit finish.Drink 2023 - 2029Alistair Cooper MW, JancisRobinson.com (September 2023)

Matt Walls 91/100
Rather neutral on the nose currently, but has weight and interest on the palate. Quite powerful, with gentle minerals and a pink grapefruit, bitter nip on the dry finish; a touch of honey lingers. 5% new oak, no malolactic. This is the cuvée that has until now been called La Mule Blanche.Drink 2023 - 2026matt_walls, Decanter (September 2023)
