Christelle Betton Crozes Hermitage Blanc Elixir 2023

$3299

Nearly 40-year-old Marsanne vines planted on rolled pebbles and alluvium deliver ethereal white wine from Crozes-Hermitage's finest terroir. Christelle Betton's "Elixir" cuvée proves that Marsanne, when farmed with respect and aged in old French oak, achieves remarkable finesse. Expect crisp lime, white flowers, melon, and pear with a whisper of saline minerality that speaks to the ancient riverbed soils. Bottled unfined and unfiltered after 12 months in older barrels—organic winemaking with elegance.

"The simple 2023 Crozes-Hermitage Blanc starts with zesty notes of lemon flesh, yellow apple and a slice of ripe pear. Touching the palate with notable freshness, the 2023 still needs more length and complexity to score higher." —Nicholas Greinacher
