Description
The medium-bodied 2021 Hermitage Blanc unfurls with lemon flesh, spring blossom, pear and white peach. Focused and layered, the 2021 stuns with striking energy and lifting freshness. Neatly balanced by bright acidity, the 2021 is a precise and athletic Hermitage Blanc with secure ageing potential. That being said, it’s utterly delicious even today.
Drink 2024 - 2033

Critics reviews
Beeswax, honey, chamomile and anise. The palate is ripe with honeysuckle, marzipan and white flowers—a nutty note on the finish. Ripe but still has a good core of acidity. It is not hugely concentrated and light in style for the Hermitage, but it is an attractive, fresher style.
Drink 2025 - 2035
18 months in old barriques. 70-year-old vines
Classic Hermitage weight, density and richness on the palate, with lovely acidity and a remarkably mineral expression. The long finish is surprisingly potent. Unusually, this is ready already, though well-concentrated.
