Note di degustazione
Pale, glistening yellow. Vibrant and sharply focused on the nose, displaying fresh citrus and orchard fruit aromas that are complemented by suggestions of toasted nuts and chalky minerals. Sappy and energetic on the palate, offering juicy Meyer lemon, Anjou pear and succulent herb flavors that become deeper with air. In a rich yet lively style, showing fine definition on the impressively long penetrating finish.

All from the Dionnieres lieu-dit, the 2017 Hermitage Les Miaux Blanc is 100% Marsanne brought up in 80% demi-muids, with the balance in stainless steel. Its medium gold color is followed by a beautiful perfume of liquid rocks, flowers oil, tangerine, and citrus blossom. It has a certain exotic quality aromatically yet is classic Marsanne on the palate with medium to full body, bright acidity, plenty of fruit, and a clean, balanced finish. I feel as though my ratings on the wines of Ferraton go up every year, and these 2016s are another brilliant, incredibly consistent lineup from this team. It’s worth mentioning that Ferraton is run by Michel Chapoutier. However, they have a separate, designated winemaking team. The only drawback to these wines is that, by and large, they’re made in tiny quantities.
The 100% Marsanne 2017 Hermitage Les Miaux Blanc boasts slinky aromas of pencil shavings, pear and melon. Medium to full-bodied, it's nevertheless bright and fresh on the palate, ending on harmonious and invigorating notes of citrus zest. It's delicious now, but it should be richer and more nuanced after 8-10 years in the cellar.
