Light, shimmering straw. Ripe pit fruits, lemon pith, beeswax and chamomile on the deeply perfumed nose, along with suggestions of honey and anise. Pliant and broad on the palate, featuring pear nectar, yellow peach and Meyer lemon flavors that become livelier on the back half. A smoky mineral note builds steadily on the energetic finish, which leaves a hint of bitter pear skin behind. 92 points

(steel tank, bottling spring 2019) full yellow robe, shine from within; quince fruit, citrus marmalade, nutshells airs – this is a sturdy bouquet not yet out and about, has reserves of depth, sizzled butter also. The palate is engaging, gourmand, wholesome, with silky textures in play, continues, glides along, is nutty with white plum and some jam style white strawberry near the close. This is genuine, traditional Hermitage blanc. “It has a lot of elegance, gras richness,” Marc Sorrel. 14.5°. 2038-40 Nov 2018 Previously Nov 2017 ****(*) (228-litre cask) full yellow. The nose is classic – ginger, nougat, grapiness, dried fruits such as apricot, smoky and tangy. The palate holds beau, joli gras, extends surely, has heart, extols fine richness, has a peach flavour. This is fine, full and elegant, an STGT white Hermitage. Drink now to 2034-36. 4.5 stars
