Domaine du Tunnel (Stéphane Robert)
Pur Blanc Saint-Peray White Rhone Blend
St. Péray, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
One of the most complex, elegant, and layered white wines I’ve ever had. Its full, creamy body is a cannon of flavor bombs: ripe yellow apple, fresh peach, lemon zest, nutmeg, cream, jasmine, light ash, salted butter, and floral honey. There’s just enough acidity to add freshness to the deep flavors and rich mouthfeel. Absolute 💎

Wow. A stunner.
Nose is fresh peach skin and apricot
Palate is light peach. Balanced but not overtly acidic. Not heavy. Delicious. There is something very elegant about this. A rare tropical wine that is clean but not blowsy or syrupy or unctuous or too much. Almost this sweet beauty on the finish.
As this opens the nose is a unique thing of beauty. Not peach. But peach flowers. A thing of beauty. Nose filling but so elegant. The barest hint of clove maybe gives some complexity. Some minerality comes out on the palate. Maybe some lemon zest. Great elegant texture. A mere kiss of a coating on the palate. Lingering spice.
