Tasting Notes

Easily the finest vintage of this cuvee to date, the 2013 Ermitage le Meal Blanc doesn't give an inch to the more heralded Cuvee de L'Orée or l'Ermite. Pure perfection in a glass, with awesome caramelized citrus, pineapple, crushed rock, toasted bread and buttered peach, it's full-bodied, massive and concentrated on the palate, with incredible purity, richness and length. As with the other top whites here, it needs a year or two in the cellar and will have 2-3 decades of longevity.
