Vintages 2010

Wine Advocate #204 - Dec 2012

Score : (88-92)

Deep, rich and full-bodied, the 2010 Hermitage Blanc offers lots of texture as well as nectarine, white currant, quince and acacia flower notes. A big white with more minerality and slightly less fruit than its 2011 counterpart, it should drink well for 10-15 years. Robert Parker.

Score : 16/20

Bientôt sur le marché, saveur classique de miel de fleurs, grande délicatesse, un peu d'amer à fondre, plus délié et élégant que le 2009, actuellement en vente.
