2018 Saint Peray - Fleur de Crussol Alain Voge

Parker-Czerwinski (93-95) Points: Similar in quality and style to the bottled 2017, the 2018 Saint Peray Fleur de Crussol boasts layers of ripe, honeyed peach and pineapple flavors. It's full-bodied, round and fleshy, with a rich, silky, texture-laden finish underscored by hints of citrus rind. From 80-year-old Marsanne vines, it's another beauty.
Drink Date: 2020-2025

Galloni (94-95) Points: Green-tinged straw-gold. A highly complex bouquet evokes ripe citrus and pit fruits, along with suggestions of chamomile, jasmine and smoky minerals. Juicy, penetrating and chewy on the palate, offering intense, mineral-laced tangerine, pear nectar and honeysuckle flavors that deepen and spread out through the mid-palate. The mineral and floral notes drive a strikingly long, incisive finish that leaves a suave floral note behind. --Josh Raynolds

Jeb Dunnuck (92-94) Points: The flagship, the 2018 Saint-Péray Fleur De Crussol is all Marsanne brought up in 30% new 400-liter barrels. It has a more full-bodied, layered style as well as a similar white currant and orchard fruits, toasted nuts, and honeyed nuances. Unformed and unevolved, it will require 2-4 years of bottle age.
