Showing much better than last year, the 2012 Crozes Hermitage Cuvee Particuliere Blanc (100% Marsanne) has a rich, concentrated and fleshy feel to go with plenty of stone fruits, white currants and minerality. Enjoy this medium to full-bodied, layered and textured beauty over the coming 3-4 years.

A soft, forward style, with creamed melon, plantain and pear notes, offering a lightly buttered finish. A bit shy on zip, but the friendly fruit will win some fans. Marsanne. Drink now. 105 cases imported.
