giving density and dark-chocolate flavors
It's a fine example of an old-vine wine
spice and chamomile add striking inner sweetness to a wine that balances power with translucent energy
Light golden colour with a creamy mousse and generous nose
crushed rocks and chalk add to the wine's taught brilliant feel
2018 | Domaine Belle Hermitage Blanc | Rhône Maison Louis De Grenelle giving density and dark-chocolate flavorsA 60 40 blend of Marsanne and Roussanne from Plat, the 2018 Hermitage Blanc is a powerhouse white Hermitage. Barrel fermented and aged in two thirds new oak, it's full bodied, rich and broad, loaded with honeyed notes of pear, melon and citrus yet comes across as balanced, with a long, refreshing finish. Tasted blind on another occasion, I liked it less, finding it slightly tropical and confected and shorter on the finish, but otherwise similar 97 Pts
