Julien Pilon 2018 Marsanne/Roussanne "Le Bruit des Vagues" 750ml

A deft harmony of the best of the two grape varieties. The slopes where the Marsanne grows are high up which keeps the freshness and acidity, and the Viognier rounds out the wine giving you a seductive, yet fresh mineral driven wine. The flavours explode on your palate

Julien Pilon specializes in white wine – it makes up 80% of his production – but has expanded his production to include several high quality reds. His whites are precise, exciting and stylish; the best of them will age gracefully for a long time, especially the spectacular Hermitage Blanc. Before branching out on his own, Pilon worked with Pierre Jean Villa in the Rhone, and before that in Roussillon and in Spain. Says John Clerides, “I have no clue how Julien crafts wines with impressive depth finesse and purity form purchased grapes, but he has done it.”
