Delas Crozes-Hermitage Les Launes Blanc 2021 (75cl)

Delas Crozes-Hermitage Les Launes Blanc is a 2021 white wine from the northern Rhône. Most people know Crozes-Hermitage as a Syrah red, so the Blanc catches many by surprise. Northern Rhône whites are usually built on Marsanne and Roussanne, giving a rounder, gentler white. Marsanne and Roussanne typically give white stone fruit, a little pear and almond, with a soft rather than zippy finish. It suits roast chicken, creamy pasta or steamed fish.
