Light yellow-gold. Vibrant, mineral-accented citrus and pit fruits, honey and nougat on the intensely perfumed nose, joined by a suave floral nuance. Shows superb depth as well as vivacity, offering sappy orange, pear and nectarine flavors supported a firm spine of smoky minerality. The floral and mineral elements come back strong on the bright, sharply focused, extremely long finish, which leaves a candied lemon zest note behind.

Similar in style to the 2021, the 2014 Hermitage Blanc is a beautiful effort that has a slightly more vibrant, fresh, yet still rich profile that's drinking brilliantly even now. Stone fruits, buttered citrus, some obvious salty minerality, and white flowers all define the bouquet, and it's medium to full-bodied, has a seamless, elegant profile, and outstanding length.
