A 70-30 blend of Marsanne and Roussanne, the 2018 Crozes Hermitage les Terres Blanches is matured in both oak (60%) and tank (40%). It hints at pineapple, pear and melon on the nose, then delivers more pear and melon notes on the palate. Full-bodied, yet crisp and vibrant on the finish, it should be drunk over the near term. Tasted twice (once blind), with consistent notes.
