2019 Saint-Péray Blanc

Domaine Clape

Saint-Péray is an appellation just south of Cornas known for its steep granitic hillsides planted to the Marsanne grape. With a nose of gunflint and suave Marsanne fruit (honeycomb?), it has length and finesse.

Sampling wine out of the barrel.

When buying red Burgundy, I think we should remember:

1. Big wines do not age better than light wine.
2. A so-called great vintage at the outset does not guarantee a great vintage for the duration.
3. A so-called off vintage at the outset does not mean the wines do not have a brilliant future ahead of them.
4. Red Burgundy should not taste like Guigal Côte-Rôtie, even if most wine writers wish it would.
5. Don’t follow leaders; watch yer parking meters.
