Nearly 40-year-old Marsanne vines planted on rolled pebbles and alluvium deliver ethereal white wine from Crozes-Hermitage’s finest terroir. Christelle Betton’s “Elixir” cuve proves that Marsanne, when farmed with respect and aged in old French oak, achieves remarkable finesse. Expect crisp lime, white flowers, melon, and pear with a whisper of saline minerality that speaks to the ancient riverbed soils. Bottled unfined and unfiltered after 12 months in older barrelsorganic winemaking with elegance.
