01 Clos Petite Bellane, Cotes du Rhone Villages Valreas Les Echalas

The youthful stoniness and minerality of this 100% roussane wine is like that of a tight white Burgundy and a clean Savinierres. Closed and nearly papery aromas open to pure fruit expressed within a weighty, waxy package of tangerines and spritzy acid on the tongue.
