This is not the Roussane - it's a Grenache Noir that is lightly pressed and then immediately removed from the skins to make a 'white Grenache' which the Paso Robles grower/owners think is the only one made, anywhere. Who knows but it is interesting - on the nose there is a mineral quality but also lemon or grapefruit, baking spices, and something like salted caramel. It definitely makes me salivate when I really get my nose in there.
After breathing for a good long time it has some nice layering of those baking spices and pears dancing in a soft maloactic, almost velvet texture. Light to medium acids, short finish leaving a touch of bitterness behind.

Nothing villages about this Beaujolais. Profiles more like a baby Morgon. Rosenthal book. — a month ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of two days. Delicious Day 1 but Day 2 might have the edge. The 2021 “Pierreux” pours, a deep, ruby purple color with a near opaque core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with gorgeous notes of blackberries, strawberries, black cherries, cedar chest, purple flowers, sarsaparilla, a touch of black pepper and stony earth. There’s a touch of VA but well within the acceptable range. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+, laden with minerals and wonderfully fresh. Lip smacking stuff. Drink now through 2031. — a month ago
