Tasting notes
The 2022 Hermitage Blanc Les Rocoules is a powerhouse, commanding attention with its opulence and intensity. Unlike the more delicate Hermitage Blanc from the same vintage, the Hermitage Blanc Les Rocoules goes all-in with a flamboyant display of tropical richness. Bursting with candied pineapple, ripe melon, white peach, apricot, zesty lemon flesh and golden apple notes, the 2022 offers a kaleidoscope of rich fruit flavors. These are intricately layered with cedar, linden blossom and jasmine scents that add more aromatic complexity. On the palate, the 2022 is unapologetically bold, embracing its richness with a remarkable balance, delivering a saline, generous finish that lingers well beyond a minute. There’s no doubt that this will age spectacularly. 15.8% alcohol, 1,350 bottles produced.

A powerful nose that shows beeswax, chamomile, jasmine and white flowers. A rich, unctuous palate with a jasmine note and a note of honeyed wildflower. Weighty and powerful yet all the while balanced and with such good concentration. Such density and layers on the broad finish. (AC)
