"Hitting blockbuster levels, the 2013 Hermitage Blanc les Rocoules is made from 90% Marsanne and 10% Roussanne grown in the limestone soils on the eastern side of the appellation. A big, ripe, hedonistic beauty, it exhibits tons of white currants, almond paste, honey and pineapple to go with a fat, fleshy and full-bodied feel on the palate. It won't be for those craving lightweight aromas or flavors, but should deliver tons of pleasure over the coming decade or more."

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.
