"(90% Marsanne with 10% Roussanne) Vivid gold. Deeper and more pungent on the nose than the basic Hermitage blanc, displaying a complex bouquet of pit fruits, herbs and smoky minerals, along with a hint of candied flowers. Refreshingly bitter peach pit and pear skin flavors gain sweetness with air and pick up a zesty mineral quality. The finish is spicy, focused and sappy, leaving behind notes of anise and botanical herbs."

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.
