As challenging as 2004 was for red varietals, it was actually one of the top vintages in the northern Rhone for whites, and Guigal’s have come through admirably. The 2004 Crozes-Hermitage blanc displays tasty, elegant orange rind and citrus oil notes with some hints of herbs, peach, and apricot. It should drink well for 5-6 years.
