2007 Ermitage Blanc, De L'Orée, M. Chapoutier, Rhône

From vines located in the parcel of Les Murets, situated to the east of the appellation, Ermitage Blanc, Cuvee de L'Orée is a an expressive and ripe 100% Marsanne. A nutty texture is backed by a youthful, almost tropical ebullience, held in check by the citric notes at the back. This is a complex, serious white Hermitage.
