Domaine Jean Esprit Crozes Hermitage "Perles Ivoire" red 2024

Technical Sheet written by the domaine:

This cuvée gets its name from the Marsanne and Roussanne grapes that remind Jean Esprit of small ivory pearls when they fall into the tanks after being harvested.

Fresh, taut wine with aromas of acacia and white peach. We find an expression of nuts, with fresh almond carried by a salty, iodized breeze.

Grape(s): 70% Marsanne, 30% Roussanne

Terroir: Clay-limestone terraces with rolled pebbles from the Rhône, to the south of the Crozes-Hermitage appellation, in the village of Pont de l’Isère.

Vinification / Aging: Direct pressing with fermentation in barrels. Bâtonnage and aging in new and used barrels for 8 months.

Cellaring potential: Up to 5 years.

Tasting: White wine combining freshness and exoticism with notes of white flowers and nuts, along with a subtle iodized flavor. A lovely marriage between Marsanne and Roussanne.

Sommelier's advice: Serving temperature at 8-10°C.
