2018 Hermitage Blanc

Consumers lucky enough to score some of Colombier's 2018 Hermitage Blanc (there is only one demi-muid and one pièce) can have fun comparing it to the superlative 2016. Honeyed pineapple and vanilla aromas nearly fill the room, while the full-bodied palate is equally voluminous. Rich, silky and long, nicely supported by subtle oak, it should drink well on release, in a decade's time, and last up to two decades (or more).
