Bottled in April 2019 after 17 months in 20% new oak, the 2017 Saint Peray Fleur de Crussol shows outstanding freshness and energy. It's rich as always, full-bodied and bursting with honeyed peach and pineapple flavors framed by obvious toast, with layers of textural interest on the palate and extending through the lengthy finish. It's certainly one of the top wines of the appellation this year.
