julien pilon hermitage prisme 2014
Reference: 4899Stock: 1 (stock immediately available)
Condition: bottle in perfect condition
"after learning the wine-making trade in various estates in roussillon and spain, julien pilon returned to his native condrieu. since 2010, he has been making white st. joseph wines from grapes he bought before vinifying them in his cellar in condrieu. in addition to buying 7 hectares of grapes, he has 1.5 hectares of his own. these white grapes (marsanne and roussanne) evolve on the local granite terroirs and offer wines of great finesse and precision. julien pilon is based in chavannay, in the beautiful northern rhône valley, where he makes great whites. roussanne, marsanne and viognier express themselves in a fresher and tenser register than the traditional style of the region. this 100% marsanne cuvée from the upper part of the hermitage hillside is matured in new 500 litre wooden containers for 16 months. the result is a richly aromatic wine, with notes of quince and pear mingling with white flowers and fine honeyed touches on the finish. the acidity softens the structure in the most beautiful way. a wine that can be enjoyed in its youth to take advantage of the freshness of the fruit or forgotten for one or two decades in a good cellar, to make a great wine for meditation. served with a fine veal chop with morels, the wine will be sublimated."
