Varietal

White Rhone Blend

Rhone white blend wines, originating from France's Rhone Valley, exemplify a captivating interplay of grape varieties that contribute to their unique character. Viognier, Marsanne, Roussanne, and Grenache Blanc are key players in these blends, each bringing distinct aromas and flavors. What makes Rhone white blends unique is their aromatic complexity, offering a spectrum from floral and stone fruit notes to honeyed richness. The Northern Rhone produces exquisite whites like Condrieu, where Viognier takes center stage, delivering floral and apricot nuances. In the Southern Rhone, blends such as Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc showcase a harmonious mix of Marsanne, Roussanne, and other varieties, resulting in wines with depth and structure. Rhone white blends are celebrated for their ability to evolve with age, displaying increased complexity. Whether enjoyed in their youth for their freshness or aged for added richness, these wines invite enthusiasts to appreciate the artistry of blending and the diverse terroirs that define the Rhone Valley's winemaking landscape.

Region

Rhone Valley

The Rhone Valley of southern France is a particularly fascinating wine region, with a history that stretches back to at least six hundred BCE, when the ancient Greeks first began cultivating vines there. The region itself is split into two distinct sub-regions, with the northern sub-region being famed for its production of exceptional Syrah, Marsanne, Roussane and Viognier wines, packed full of interesting character and expressing the terroir found there. The southern sub-region is home to an enormous variety of grapes, and produces red, white and rosé wines, and some of the world's most famous and adored blended wines. The continental climate of the region is ideal for growing grapes, and the winds which blow from the Central Massif help temper the heat in the vineyards, leading to very ripe fruits holding plenty of flavor.

Appellation

Hermitage

Hermitage, a revered appellation in the Northern Rhône Valley, France, stands as a viticultural icon synonymous with Syrah greatness. What makes Hermitage unique is its commanding south-facing granite slopes along the Rhône River, bathed in sunlight and sheltered from the mistral winds. This terroir imparts distinct intensity and concentration to the Syrah grapes, resulting in wines of extraordinary depth and longevity. Hermitage wines are renowned for their complexity, showcasing dark fruit, black pepper, and a profound minerality. The appellation also allows for a small percentage of white grapes—Marsanne and Roussanne—adding elegance and aromatic richness to the whites produced. Legendary producers like Chapoutier and Jaboulet have contributed to Hermitage's reputation for excellence, highlighting the appellation's dedication to crafting wines that embody the essence of Syrah and the unique terroir of the Rhône Valley. Exploring Hermitage offers a captivating journey into the pinnacle of Northern Rhône winemaking, where tradition, terroir, and the Syrah grape converge to create wines of unparalleled stature.

I loved the 2019 Hermitage Blanc, another impeccably made white from this team. Medium to full-bodied, pure, and even elegant, yet still with plenty of oomph, it has brilliant notes of quince, crushed stone, acacia flowers, and spice. Despite coming from a warmer (hot) vintage, this has notable purity and freshness. Drink it over the coming 10-12 years or so (it will keep longer).

Wine Spectator

Delicious and inviting, in a sunny, expressive style. Offers citrus blossom, lemon oil and ripe yellow plum notes that cruise alongside sun tea and toasted hazelnut to fill out the lush palate, with hints of pastry. Shows charm and poise, with wet stone accents and lively acidity bringing excellent definition. Drink now through 2030. 2,000 cases made, 100 cases imported.

James Suckling

Not for the faint-hearted, this has lots of beeswax and candied orange in the nose, also notes of toast and vanilla. A bold, rich and weighty white Hermitage, but the fine tannins support this expansiveness very well. A cuvee of 95% marsanne and 5% roussanne. 50% new oak and 50% used barrels for two years. Drink or hold.

Wine Advocate

90-92 Guigal's 2019 Hermitage Blanc features assertive notes of toasted grain, grilled pineapple and ripe melon on the nose. Sourced from Beaumes, Murets, Dionnières and Pierrelles, it's medium to full-bodied, but it seems—at least at this stage—to show a touch of warmth on the finish.

Vinous Media

Lemon peel, ripe pear, dried blossom, cedar and melon nuances introduce the classy 2019 Hermitage Blanc. Offering a medium body and refreshing acidity, it leaves a slightly saline aftertaste on the sapid finale.

DC 90pts

Decanter

Ripe and waxy notes on the nose. Rich layers of stone fruit, with punchy apple and pear fruit on the palate. Good concentration with lifting freshness and a vibrant finish.

Winery Notes

A charming floral wine filled with aromas of white flowers and acacia honey. It has great ageing potential.
