M. Chapoutier Crozes-Hermitage Les Meysonniers Blanc 2021

From the Winemaker: 

Les Meysonniers white wine epitomizes the authentic character of Marsanne in Crozes-Hermitage. Pale yellow in color with green highlights. The nose is full of quince, peony, and roasted almonds. The palate is fresh and supple.

Enjoy with fish, shellfish, and salads. Perfect for picnics with mild creamy cheese and mature strong cheeses. Also pairs nicely with Asian inspired and spicy dishes. Ideal with a seafood platter.

91 Points Jeb Dunnuck

"Another beautiful white from the team, the 100% Marsanne 2021 Crozes Hermitage Les Meysonniers Blanc offers up lots of stone fruits as well as a touch of reductive minerality to go with a medium bodied pure clean elegant style on the palate. It's clearly an outstanding white and should have 5 to 7 years of longevity."

90 Points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"Sourced largely from the southern and eastern portions of the appellation, with a small proportion aged in oak (5% in new demi-muids, 5% in used demi-muids and 10% in foudres), the 2021 Crozes Hermitage Blanc Les Meysonniers offers up hints of struck match, scorched lime zest and under ripe melon. It's medium-bodied and reasonably sapid on the palate, with a long, briny finish."
