2021 Thomas Finot Crozes-Hermitage Blanc "Cuvee Anais"


100% Marsanne.

Stone fruit palate with almond, lanolin and hint of orange on a medium viscous complex finish.
Slight petrol note on citrus influenced nose.
This is a wow wine upon first taste and gets better with air. Paired beautifully with lobster bisque and Oysters Bienville.
Buy as much as you can IF you can find it.

Producer notes:
"..Thomas Finot, who is making fascinating wines in the Coteaux Grésivaudan in the Isère, makes a tiny quantity of Crôzes-Hermitage Blanc and Rouge. This beautiful Crôzes Blanc is from 100% Marsanne grown on the family's 1.8 hectare parcel of old vines in Larnage on a hillside with granite and limestone subsoils under interesting topsoils of white clay (kaolin). The Cuvée Anaïs is from a single parcel of the oldest vines...."
