| Community Tasting Notes (average 93 pts. and median of 93 pts. in 7 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by fitzi on 7/9/2017: From magnum, pleasantly acidic out of the bottle, but little other flavor. With time, the texture rounds out nicely, and you start to get nuanced, well-proportioned hints of honeysuckle and herb. A good wine of considerable finesse. Another magnum in the cellar would do no harm, but I'm happy with the two I've been able to enjoy. I don't understand, however, the kinds of pricing this wine commands in 'good' years. These bottles were purchased at about 60% of regular pricing. (1856 views) | | | Tasted by fitzi on 9/25/2016: From magnum. I prefer this to the Meal: it's a bit fresher, with brighter acidity. Mild waxiness, not too much. Appealing hint of caramel, not of the oxidative kind. Pretty nice wine, with very good intensity; overall, I'd rather be drinking a good Pepiere Clisson with 10 year on it, with less cost stress. I have one more magnum of this, but feel this batch marks the end of my foray into white Hermitage. (2034 views) | | | Tasted by Melli on 5/6/2012 & rated 94 points: Stunningly great bottle. Much better than anticipated. Would love to get my hands on more! (3776 views) | | | Tasted by emkc on 3/12/2011 flawed bottle: I hope that this one is flawed. Absolutely flat...no taste... (3587 views) | | | Tasted by rjonwine@gmail.com on 2/23/2011 & rated 93 points: Rhône-themed Dinner: Condrieu, Hermitage Blanc, Châteauneuf, Hermitage and Côte-Rôtie (Pera Restaurant, San Francisco, California): Light golden yellow color; smoky, tart apple, honeyed, vanilla, creamy, baked apple nose; tight, creamy textured, almond milk, tart peach, mineral palate with good balance; medium-plus finish (1993 views) | | | Tasted by SimonG on 9/29/2007: Remmington Norman Offline in aid of Pebbles Project (Le Colombier, London): Deeper, mid yellow. Waxy, slightly oily, lanolin nose. Rounded, slightly oily, peach kernels. texturalloy, this finishes quite abruptly but some residual flavour lingers for some time. Good but not really my style of wine. (4755 views) |

Regional History:
Phocaean Greeks established viticulture in the Rhone as far back as 600 BC, but until the 14th century the wines were not seen outside the region. The establishment of the Avignonese Papacy (1305-1377) brought fame to the region's wine-so much so that their Burgundian neighbors to the north banned wines from the Rhone in 1446, a measure that effectively cut off trade with England and other Northern European markets for over 200 years. Stretching southward from Lyon to just south of Avignon, the Rhone produces a wide variety of wines, with the appellations north of Valence producing the least (in volume), and the towns south of Montelimar producing prodigious amounts. As in other regions, the most interesting wines come from small farms. Saint-Joseph, in the northern Rhone, extends for some distance between Condrieu in the north to Saint-Peray in the south. The reds are made from Syrah and the rare whites from Marsanne and Roussanne, and Viognier.
### 2017 vintage ###
"The first red wines already tasted in the Northern Rhône promise a beautiful vintage, with a quality close to the 2015 or even the 2009 vintage" - NEWRHÔNE MILLESIMESHermitage Guide to Hermitage wine Guide to Cote Rotie - Read about the Northern Rhone Valley
• The appellation stretches over 3 communes in the Drôme "département" : Tain-l'Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage and Larnage.
• The soils are a combination of granite with alluvial quaternary delta deposits, and, on the eastern side, Pliocene clay. This diversity explains the numerous different names given to vineyard plots within the appellation : Bessards, Greffieux, Méal, Roucoule, Beaumes, etc.
• The meso-climate provides shelter from the north winds, where the majority of the slopes is well exposed, facing south.
•The vineyards area adds up to 134 hectares/331 acres, with an annual production of 3,635 hectoliters. Authorized maximum yield is 40 hectoliters/hectare (2.3 US tons/acres).
• Grape varieties : Syrah (an addition of up to 15% of Marsanne or Roussanne is allowed).
