BETTS & SCHOLL – HERMITAGE BLANC 2001

Description

“Always the sleeper, Hermitage Blanc. Amongst the greatest white wines in the world and known to only a select few. Our debut from the fantastic 2001 vintage is no exception. The wine is just beginning to show its stuff after 5 years and what stuff its got! Super deep nose of flowers and honey and stones. If you’ve ever had the chance to walk up and down that hill of Hermitage you know how intense the soils are and they are super vivid in the wine as well. On the palate it is simultaneously rich and oily yet light. These are wines that don’t depend on acid for lift so it is altogether another sense of elegance and grace. Ultimately long and lovely.”
