Robert Parker's Wine Advocate : A wine that competes with the best wines of the appellation, the 2015 Hermitage Domaine des Tourettes Blanc checks in as 100% Marsanne from two great terroirs: Bessards and Grandes Vignes. There are just over 300 cases of this elixir, which was vinified and aged all in barrel.
Buttered citrus, white currants, crushed rocks and exotic flower notes all flow to a full-bodied, beautifully textured, layered, unctuous white that still glides across the palate. It’s a sensational Northern Rhône white to enjoy over the coming 2-3 decades. Winemaker Jacques Granges continues to keep this large estate up with the crème de la crème of the Northern Rhône.
Blend : 90% Marsanne and 10% Roussanne.
