"Even more oily, the 2010 Hermitage Les Rocoules Blanc . . . from 60-year-old [average] vines , there are only 125 cases of this blend of 90% Marsanne and 10% Roussanne. Thick, juicy notes of quince, crème brûlée, nut oil, crushed rock and white currants emerge from this full-bodied white along with good acidity and no evidence of oak."

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.
