Wine Reviews

Expressive and alluring, with fragrant ginger and honeycomb notes infusing warm apple and juicy melon flavors. On the palate, this is bone dry and chiseled by steely acidity and bitter white tea tannins.

A blend of 95% Marsanne and 5% Roussanne, the 2022 Crozes-Hermitage Blanc Domaine de Thalabert Mule Blanche is delicious. Wafting from the glass with fragrant pear, white peach, yellow apple, honeysuckle and melon, it touches the palate with solid flavor concentration. Bright acidity holds everything in check. Concluding with a discretely saline aftertaste, this medium-bodied 2022 is ready for business

A well-composed, balanced and precise blend of 95% marsanne and 5% roussanne. It has notes of preserved lemons, white flowers and some verbena. It’s medium-bodied with a fresh core of succulent white fruit and herbs on the palate. Well driven and agile with a vivid finish of excellent length.

Beautiful and clean, with a pure, layered style, the 2024 Crozes-Hermitage Domaine De Thalabert Mule Blanche is based on 95% Marsanne and 5% Roussanne aged in 50% new oak. Orange, ripe peach, and honeyed floral aromas and flavors shine here, and it’s medium-bodied, with a pure, layered, elegant mouthfeel, nicely integrated acidity, and terrific balance. It shows outstanding length and is very much in the fresh, lively, supple style of the vintage. Drink 2026-2031.
