This elegant Hermitage Blanc is a blend of Marsanne and Roussanne from vines that were planted back in 1926. The nose combines aromas of mandarin, persimmons, stewed pears, white peaches, and ginger. Its mineral-driven and textured profile is further enhanced by a bitter almond core, which contributes to an impressive length on the palate. Guillaume Sorrel recommends exercising patience and suggests holding onto this wine for at least 10 years before indulging in its full splendour.

The 2021 Hermitage Blanc Les Rocoules is gorgeous. Dried flowers, linden blossom, lemon peel, quince, melon and yellow apple are all pushed forward. Packed with insane levels of energy and tension, yet at the same time totally light on its feet, the 2021 is a quintessential Hermitage Blanc and ranks alongside the finest white wines of the 2021 vintage. It closes with persistence on the razor-sharp finish. — Nicolas Greinacher, 28th March 2024

Super-mineral with honeycomb, malolactic notes and golden apple. The palate is rounded with a lovely texture. Not overly rich but has wonderful, depth, weight and character. Almond nuttiness through the middle and a lovely mineral finish. A saline note towards the end just creeps in. Very, very good indeed. (AC) — Alistair Cooper, 5th October 2022
