Domaine du Colombier
Hermitage, Blanc, 2012
justerini & brooks tasting note
Racy, very racy. Alongside the ripe stone fruit and mirabelle flavours, there is a burst of citrus peel, salt and mineral freshness. Stylish, powerful and unusually elegant and restrained for a white Hermitage. Stunning. Fermented in two demi-muid barrels, this is a glorious 100% Marsanne from a parcel in the clay limestone Maison Blanche vineyard planted in 1944.
