A powerful, structured white from L’Alezan—one of the most compelling young producers in the Ardèche. This is a blend of Marsanne and Roussanne drawn from three vintages (2017–2019), the result is a deeply concentrated wine: ripe orchard fruit, golden peach, warm spice, and honeyed grip, all anchored by a taut, saline mineral core.
Textured, intense, and commanding, yet with balance and precision. Fermented naturally, aged in a mix of old wood and tinaja (amphora), and bottled with zero added sulphur. Just 646 bottles made.
