(E. Guigal Hermitage Blanc) Pale gold in color. Fragrant peach and mango aromas backed by orange blossom, beeswax, and lychee nut and knit together by a stony minerality. Round, viscous mouthfeel, with moderate alcohol balanced by toasty oak. Honey and bitter almond emerge on a fairly long finish. Enough acidity to stand up well to food. Terroir: Hermitage
