The 2013 Hermitage Blanc offers gorgeous purity and freshness, yet also comes up a touch short on concentration and density. Buttered orange peel, flowers, citrus and brioche and flow nicely to a medium-bodied, pretty and delicious white that’s ideal for drinking over the coming 3-4 years. The blend is 60% Marsanne and 40% Roussanne that spent 20 months in barrel.
