Wine Description
The 2022 Hermitage Blanc reveals a deep golden hue in the glass. Aromas unfold with almond, quince, jasmine, lemon zest, and subtle honeyed tones, framed by mineral accents. On the palate, it is full-bodied and richly textured, balancing ripe orchard fruit with chalky minerality and a hint of phenolic grip. Lower in acidity than cooler vintages, its concentration and density give a layered, almost tactile impression. The finish is long and persistent, with notes of baked apple, spice, and a refined stony edge.
