WS 97 (11/2015): A stunner from the start, showing distinctive depth to the creamed mango, white peach and heather flavors, this maintains superior precision and definition as the singed almond, chamomile, salted butter and ginger notes fill in. Glazed pear, elderflower honey and beeswax details chime in on the extremely long finish. Enjoyable now, but needs serious cellaring to show its full potential. Best from 2016 through 2037. 500 cases made.
WA 96 (12/2014): Much more open, fleshy and sexy, the 2012 Hermitage Blanc was just bottled a month prior to this tasting. Coming from l’Ermite, Les Rocoules, Maison Blanche and Peleat lieux-dits, it’s always a rough blend of 80% Marsanne and 20% Roussanne that’s aged in barrel. Loaded with notions of honeysuckle, orange marmalade, powered rock, buttered citrus and green almond, it’s full-bodied, rich, upfront and fruit loaded. While I think it will be a relatively accessible early in its life, it has the concentration to hold for two decades.
JLL ****[*] (1/2015): In the white fruits. The palate starts stylishly, attractively; it is open for now. It holds a good underlay of gras richness - it has foundation under the floating appeal. This is nicely weighted, isn’t very big. Charming and stylish, the length is good. Can be drunk now, but will be very interesting from 2020. 14°. “It is a classic vintage - it is quite supple with the bitter tints that give freshness, a rich but not heavy wine,” Jean-Louis Chave. Bottled Sept 2014.
VM 94 (2/2015): Pale gold. Potent, mineral-accented honeysuckle, citrus and orchard fruit aromas show remarkable freshness and lift. Tightly wound, energetic lemon curd and green apple flavors flesh out with air to display excellent depth, with no excess fat. Finishes on a suave floral note, with an insistent mineral quality and wonderful focus and length. Josh Raynolds. |
