Note di degustazione
Compressed and understated nose and palate. Vacuum-packed. Whatever flavours are stuck in here will only release via a slow-pressure valve, I suspect. There are tantalising flashes of granite, apricot and dried herbs. (RH)

The 2020 Hermitage Les Rocoules Blanc brings more richness and depth, with a similar quince, honeysuckle, green almond, and brioche-driven bouquet. It's a powerhouse on the palate and is full-bodied, deep, opulent, and viscous, with serious length. Despite all its richness and depth, it has a touch more purity and precision than the classic cuvée. It's another remarkable effort that's going to keep for two decades or more.
90% Marsanne, 10% Roussanne. Cask sample tasted at the domaine. Complex nose with pear, quince and floral-acacia notes. Palate round and gourmand with a depth of fruit but at the same time minerally fresh with plenty of energy and drive. Very long finish. (JL)
