Production Details A sweet white Roussanne Vin de Paille release bottled in 375 mL. Robert Parker reported acidity of 12.5 g/L, but the reproduced review does not specify the analytical acid basis, so the figure is retained here rather than entered as unqualified total acidity.
Tasting Notes Robert Parker (June 2008): honeysuckle and marmalade. Josh Raynolds for Vinous (November 2008): peach, apricot, blond tobacco, mint, dried flowers and spicy pit fruit, with lift and cut despite its richness.
