Domaine Yves Cuilleron Crozes-Hermitage 'Les Rousses' Marsanne

It opens with aromas of ripe pear, white peach, and apricot, layered with notes of honeysuckle, almond, and subtle citrus blossom. On the palate, it is medium‑ to full‑bodied, silky, and gently rounded, showing flavors of stone fruit, pear skin, and lemon oil, supported by soft acidity and a characteristic waxy, lightly creamy texture. The granite‑influenced soils of Crozes‑Hermitage contribute a quiet mineral backbone that keeps the wine lifted. As it evolves, hints of almond cream, fennel, and wet stone emerge, adding depth and complexity without heaviness.
