Saint-Péray Marsanne 2016 was an exciting vintage for white Rhône and if we had to pick out just one appellation that really stood out, it would be Saint-Péray. This charming village is shooting up our radar for quality, consistently and value, in particular, the wines of Domaine du Tunnel.“An estate that has come on like gangbusters over the past decade is Stéphane Robert’s Domaine du Tunnel, and today they’re up there with the crème de la crème of the appellation.” Dec 2016, www.robertparker.comDomaine du Tunnel is a tiny estate run by Stéphane Robert and his wife Sandrine. This fabulous family domaine has quickly established itself as one of the finest in the region and it’s always one of our favourite properties to visitStéphane, also the winemaker, set up the domaine from scratch in 1994 by renting vines and now owns ten hectares of vineyards in Cornas, Saint-Péray and Saint Joseph. Made from 100% Marsanne from granite soils and barrel-fermented, it perfectly balances richness and finesse. Bright golden colour with pristine yellow fruit that sings from the glass. Delicate floral notes, stony minerality and a salty twang add to the exotic fruits on the palate. Very long and lively, this would be a great match for chicken dishes, fish and Japanese cuisine.
