Domaine du Tunnel
2012 Saint-Péray Cuvée Prestige
This is the prestige wine — best white of the domaine — harvested from the best and oldest Marsanne and Roussanne vines to create a blend with substance and finesse. Made in very small quantities, this wine flies off the shelves in France. Get it while it lasts!
Fresh, with stone-fruits, minerals, and spring flowers. Approachable and easy to drink but with an acidic backbone that suggests pairing with cheeses and fruit.
Food pairing: Brie and pears
