An 80-20 blend of Marsanne and Roussanne, the 2018 Crozes Hermitage Blanc is a 50-50 blend of barrel-fermented and tank-fermented portions. Malolactic fermentation is blocked. It's a deep golden color, rich, broad and honeyed on the full-bodied palate, then finishes with a bit of white pepper and surprising zestiness.

Fresh and direct, with creamed yellow apple, white peach and pineapple notes racing through atop a lemon sherbet hint. Breezy floral accent in the background adds balance. Drink now. 1,250 cases made, 300 cases imported.??–JM??Region: France / Northern Rh?ne / Crozes-Hermitage Select to Add
