Ludovic Izerable and Corinne Lionnet's wines continue to sneak under the radar of too many northern Rhône enthusiasts, which is good news for those who are already clued in to this small domaine. Their whole-cluster-fermented wines, sourced from their biodynamically farmed vineyards (2.85 hectares in total) are classically proportioned and distinctly graceful in style, with very little, if any, oak presence. The 2017 vintage was handled with aplomb here, with the wines showing excellent balance and distinct freshness – hardly the qualities one expects to find from a hot vintage. For those who are able to source the 2016s from Lionnet, do it, as the wines are showing extremely well already but have the energy and balance to age effortlessly.
