2020 Marc Sorrel Hermitage Blanc Les RocoulesWhite Rhone Blend more |
7/8/2022 - jtsejersen@gmail.com Likes this wine: 95 pointsWow… Second wine in a flight of four wines - all tasted at a private tasting at the domaine. First thing I notice is the similar characteristics of the regular Hermitage Blanc. But this wine has more depth and complexity. Secondly I noticed the looooong finish, which was insane. Could still taste the wine as clearly as daylight even after minutes while listening to Guillaume Sorrel explain about the terroir. Made from the vines grown on the plot of “Les Rocoules” of the famous L’Hermitage mountain. |

Full bodied on the palate and drinking wonderful right know. After having some disappointments with 20+ years white hermitages from Chapoutier lately, i think that White northern Rhones should be enjoyed on the younger side. |

5/17/2019 - MattMauldin Likes this wine: NRFrance and Italy - May 6 to May 10, 2019: From barrel. Similar braised apple and peach notes to the Cuvee Classique, with spices and earth. Huge core of fruit and secondary depth on the palate. Expands through the palate with fleshy density. Fine structure. Excellent length. |

2/4/2020 - NickA Likes this wine: 93 pointsAn evening with Sorrel and Gerin (Uncorked, Bishopsgate): 90% Marsanne, 10% Roussanne. 80 y old vines. Guillaume Sorrel says this needs ten years after the vintage, but it's delicious tonight and to my mind outshone the 2015 and 2000 tasted alongside. Really lovely texture and finesse, with sweet apple, white flowers and a bitter finish. Slipped down so easily! |

12/12/2018 - retired_and_roving Likes this wine: NRA week in the Northern Rhone; 12/7/2018-12/15/2018 (Lyon, Vienne, Ampuis, Chavanay, Hermitage, Cornas, St. Joseph, Condrieu & Paris): Barrel tasted at the Domaine. 100% Marsanne from Les Rocoules - 60 yr old vines. Marc recommends holding for 10 years before drinking and wine will age for 30+ years. Wow - if the Les Greffieux was lovely this is just off the charts - white peaches and meyer lemons, a creamy mouthfeel, minerals, some zingy white pepper. Still in the blush of youth but gosh this is going to be gorgeous. Small quantities made - none available for sale. If you ever see one - grab it. |

2/4/2020 - NickA Likes this wine: 90 pointsAn evening with Sorrel and Gerin (Uncorked, Bishopsgate): Pungent, smoky, deep and savoury nose. Surprising finesse on the palate given the heat of the vintage. But somehow doesn't stand out as sufficiently delicious; could perhaps do with more lift and creamy charm. |

12/14/2016 - jonanator wrote: 94 pointsThis was truly incredible. The way it can balance the big alcohol and make it feel weightless all at the same time. The mouthfeel was unreal, just soft and caressing. On the palate it was all honeysuckle and white flowers. What an experience! |

8/22/2017 - TJ_The VitiViewer wrote: 92 pointsDazzling golden color. Peach, mango, lily, patchouli, sandalwood, honey, vanilla and white pepper flavors. Although the scents of wine is explosive and very sweet, the taste is in fact dry. The palate is rich and concentrated. Firm structure, long finish and extreme minerality are there too. I think it is close to Rouge rather than blanc. The wine has uniqueness obviously, but lacks freshness and acidity at the same time. Very Powerful, oaky and lactic blanc. Alc. 14.5% |
