The 2013 Hermitage Blanc is a brilliant white, and certainly checks in near the top of the hierarchy in 2013. A blend of 85% Marsanne and 15% Roussanne from the lieux-dits of Rocoules, Peleat, L'Hermite, and Maison Blanche, it's brought up in a mix of new and used barrels, with some in tank as well. A beautiful perfume of buttered citrus, honeyed white currants, crushed rocks, and white flowers gives way to a full-bodied, pure, concentrated 2013 that shows the purity and freshness of the vintage while still packing serious depth. Drink it over the coming 20-30 years.
