Cave de Tain, Crozes-Hermitage, 2014

£13, M&S. 100% Marsanne, no oak.

Shit, surprisingly so.

Bought on Matt Wells' advice that white Rhone would be a good accompaniment for blue cheese soufflé, this was a huge disappointment.

Really high acidity, thin and downright sharp.

A very, very far cry from the Brezeme.

Further evidence that white burgundy is more satisfying and reliable at this price point?
