Jeb Dunnuck: 95 Points

Coming all from the Maison Blanche lieu-dit, the 2019 Hermitage Blanche is based on 80% Marsanne and 20% Roussanne that spent two years in used barrels. It's a smoking value in Hermitage Blanc, offering classic notes of quince, honeyed minerality, buttered citrus, and green almonds. Rich and full-bodied, with a layered, opulent texture and a great finish, it's a no-brainer purchase that can be enjoyed any time over the coming decade, if not longer.

Wine Spectator: 94 Points

Seductive and expressive with a firming layer of bitter almond citrus pith and mineral notes buoying a ripe mix of melon yellow plum and peach flavors. Big in stature with remarkable density and saltiness this hums through the powerful finish with serious energy flint and smoke. Marsanne and Roussanne. Drink now through 2035. 330 cases made 55 cases imported. Wine Type and Color
