(blanc)

Presse / Kritik
J. Livingstone-Learmonth: 4 / 6 Sterne
"Yellow robe with a rich aspect. There is attractive richness on the nose, orange and tangerine mixed, with brioche baked bread, tangy ginger, grapey and mango notes. The palate is fat, bears the proper richness of old vines, makes a real good statement. Has a deep texture, and finishes a bit on oak, thrust, Marsanne tang, a hint of tannin. It closes with grip. There’s a lot of wine in the glass. This is for la table; it gives a very good mixing of Roussanne and Marsanne – the gras of Roussanne at its mid-palate, the grip of Marsanne on the end. “It’s very fine,” Marc Sorrel. From late-2018. 2029-30"

Das Weingut
Zitat J. Livingstone-Learmonth: "One of the few small domaines with vineyards in plum, central sites at Hermitage. Generally traditional outlook. Attempts have been made since the late 1990s to work the vineyards more naturally. Winemaking has become more consistent. The red Hermitage Le Gréal can be very good indeed, a true child of the hill, and is indeed mighty in vintages such as 2010, 2015 and 2017. The Hermitage Les Rocoules white is an STGT (Soil to Glass Transfer)  wine. The white Crozes-Hermitage is a cracker, made from 1945 vines, and the epitomy of traditional white Rhône from the happy marriage of Marsanne and Roussanne. This, too is STGT, and has been excellent in 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016."
