Score 95/100 · Jeb Dunnuck, Dec 2022

The classic 2020 Hermitage Blanc from Sorrel is 100% Marsanne aged 18 months in barrel. It reveals a light gold hue as well as beautiful aromatics of ripe quince, toasted almonds, minty herbs, and spices. Beautifully balanced on the palate, this medium to full-bodied effort has flawless balance, a focused, elegant, yet powerful mouthfeel, and a great finish. Count me impressed – I'd be a buyer.

Sorrel's "classic" white Hermitage comes essentially from les Greffieux. From 60-year-old Marsanne vines and set to spend a total of 18 months in older oak (nothing newer than four years), a barrel sample of the 2020 Hermitage Blanc was a thrilling joyride of honeyed white peaches and ripe pears. Full-bodied, rich and incredibly textural, it should be a beauty.
