"The 2001 Ermitage le Meal Blanc continues to impress and I've had numerous bottles over the past couple of years and they've all shown beautifully. Honeyed and caramelized, with lots of white peach, mint, orange blossom and smoke, it's full-bodied, ripe and layered on the palate, with perfect balance between its layers of fruit and acidity. My notes finished with 'beautiful wine.'"

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Spans the Syrah-driven northern crus of Cote-Rotie and Hermitage and the Grenache-based blends of the warmer south, led by Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Its wines are known for power, spice and warmth.
Produces some of the world's most powerful and long-lived Syrah from a single granite hill, yielding dense, structured reds and rich whites.
