The vineyards are spread across two distinct 'terroirs' that give this wine a real sense of place. An intense nose of dark fruits with toasty notes leads to a rich, fleshy and well-structured palate with a long, elegant finish. The Hermitage Blanc is 100% Marsanne from 45 year old vines. The wine is aged on the fine lees for 18 months in oak barrels giving richness to the palate. The nose is expressive and exudes both fruit and floral aromas with toasty notes and a buttery character.
