About this Item

Hermitage Blanc, 2005
4 (1 x 4) 750ml

3 generations farm 20 hectares of Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage and Saint Joseph appellations in the Northern Rhône. Their vineyards lie across four different areas: Les Murets, Les Dionnières, La Beaume and Les Pierrelles. Syrah is grown on the areas of stony brown sand and Marsanne is grown on the areas of loam and red clay. The vineyards are mainly located on hillsides, which makes it difficult to use machinery, especially for the harvest which is still done by hand.

Notes

Due to time constraints set upon us with the COVID-19 Lockdown no original bottle shots were taken.

Critics Ratings

'Packed with lots of powerful dried pineapple, apricot, pear and fig flavors, all held in check by a vibrant minerality and flashy grilled nut and butter notes. The finish is long and structured.' - Wine Spectator 92/100
