Saint-Clair Crozes-Hermitage blanc 2022

Basset’s white is a Roussanne-Marsanne blend (70/30), in the style of a classic northern Rhône
white. The nose is soft and enveloping, with tropical notes of mango, pineapple, and green tea. The mouth is rich and round, but well balanced, showing nectarine and honey notes. There’s so much exotic fruit in the nose you almost expect this to be sweet, but the mouth finishes cool and soft and dry with terrific tension.
