Leading off the Hermitage whites, the 2013 Hermitage Blanc les Miaux (equal parts Roussanne and Marsanne aged in demi-muid) is a blockbuster that shows how good the whites are from this appellation in 2013. Almond paste, white flowers, white currants and chalky minerality all emerge from this rocking effort. Medium to full-bodied, with brilliant clarity in its aromas, flavors and integrated acidity, drink it anytime over the coming 10-15 years.
