Robert Parker's Wine Advocate : From the renowned vineyard of Le Meal (more famous for its reds than whites), the stunning 2000 Ermitage Le Meal represents a singular expression of white Hermitage. Offering up honeysuckle characteristics, gobs of fruit and glycerin, and more fat than the Cuvee de l’Oree, it is huge in the mouth, very buttery, and is a total hedonistic turn-on. I suspect additional nuances will develop as it ages. It will provide an enormous mouthful of wine over the next 4-5 years, and should keep for 40-50 years.
Blend : 100% Marsanne.
