Le Temps d'une Bise 2020, Thibaud Capellaro

One of the most exciting wines we tasted recently, from talented Thibaud Capellaro, from the breathtakingly beautiful Condrieu. Unfortunately, there is little pure nature in the northern Rhône, but Thibaud is going to change that, and how… Le Temps d'Une Bise is a blend of 45% direct-pressed Viognier, 45% direct-pressed Marsanne and 10 % Marsanne with skin contact, which gives this white some extra body and filling. 100% masterful! Full bodied smoky and creamy on the nose, with the recognizable white flowers of Viognier. Marsanne gives extra dimension and citrus to the wine, making it come in like a mountain stream. Light vegetarian, smoky and earthy in taste, but in an elegant way that we are big fans of. Impressive!
