Hermitage, Blanc, Les Rocoules, 2010

Complex limestone, peach stone, citrus and greengage fruit with gentle touches of fresh cut flower, acacia, nut and butter, there is 14.5% of natural alcohol here but this does not burn the flavours at all, a deep, lush and totally seamless Hermitage of great class and distinction. A blend of 90% Marsanne and 10% Roussanne from 50-year-old vines planted due south-facing on limestone soils.
