2007 Domaine de L’Echevin Guillaume de Rouville Cotes du Rhone Villages Saint Maurice

Viognier, Grenache Blanc, Marsanne, Roussane

250 cases produced 

Pale yellow with gold hints.  Nose is not so fruity and delicious!  Nougat, floral-y honeysuckle, lemon cheesecake, orange blossom, and stones.  Not creamy on the palate, medium bodied, but acidity/alcohol synergy gives intensity.  Alcohol at 14% is fully integrated.  Tight and structured palate and citrusy acid highlights the bright finish.  Paired with Pan Done-Up Salmon with Fennel and Pastis.

Tasted on October 20, 2008.
