Lastly, the 2017 Ermitage L’Ermite Blanc is another vibrant white that has an exotic, fresh, focused style in its citrus, lime, honeysuckle, lemon curd, and turmeric/celery seed aromas and flavors. Possessing fabulous extract and concentrated and well as both freshness and purity, it needs 2-3 years of bottle age and should keep for two decades or more. All three of these top whites show a dramatically more reductive, backward style that’s going to benefit from cellaring.
Cask sample. 25 hl/ha.
Nutty, rich and hugely concentrated – this has all the power and fury of Hermitage. Thick, textural, lengthy, potent. Lovely marzipan notes. Not much fruit ripeness; something a bit dried about it, perhaps?
