92 Points | Jeb Dunnuck
The 2017 Saint-Peray Blanc from Michel checks in as an even split of Marsanne and Roussanne that was brought up all in neutral oak. It’s an outstanding wine as well as a terrific value. Notes of orchard fruits, honeyed minerality, white flowers, and hints of brioche all give way to a medium to full-bodied concentrated, yet elegant Saint-Peray that has good acidity, notable balance, and a great finish. Drink it any time over the coming decade.
