2022 Gérard Bertrand Villa Soleilla

A skin-contact wine with a polished feel, which makes this an outlier. Offers a core of peach, quince, tropical fruit and smoked orange encased in toasted acacia and warm spices. Texturally intriguing, with a thread of iodine and spices, this is full, rich and long. Built to last, with an oak profile that will better integrate with time. Roussanne, Vermentino and Viognier. Drink now through 2028. 400 cases made, 100 cases imported.
