Tasting Notes

The 2022 Ermitage L'Ermite Blanc is closer in style to the de L’Orée with its tighter, more focused, backward style, although there’s more dry extract and concentration here. Crushed citrus, orange blossom, and incredible minerality all define the aromatics, and it's medium to full-bodied, with a dense, stacked mid-palate, high acidity, and a great finish. It's built for the cellar. As always, this comes from a lieu-dit located above the Le Meal lieu-dit and mostly decomposed granite (there’s a touch of limestone soils.) It’s still resting in 90% demi-muids, 25% being new.
