Paul Jaboulet Aîné Crozes Hermitage Domaine de Roure Blanc 2010

Hermitage, Northern Rhone, Rhone Valley, FranceThis small 2.5ha vineyard is one of the oldest estates in the appellation and one of the most prized estates there. Sixty-year-old marsanne on sloped loess and terre blanc soils shows lovely complexed stony layers; dried herbs, salt, honeysuckle and subtle pear. Low yield, whole bunch pressed, fermented in oak barrels (30 percent new) and aged on lees for nine months. Quietly confident, this is showing beautifully now but will rest for the next ten years in your cellar easily.Tasted: 21 March 2016Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Treve RingPrices:
