The 2014 Crozes Hermitage Haut d’Eole Blanc checks in a solid blend of 70% Marsanne and 30% Roussanne that spent eight months in 6% new oak, with plenty of batonnage and lees contact. It has classic Marsanne apple peel, citrus, honey and a touch of barrique in a medium-bodied, fresh, delicious and easy drinking style. Drink it over the coming year or three.
