E. Guigal Hermitage Blanc 2020

Tasting Notes

Every bit as good, if not better, from bottle than barrel, the 2020 Hermitage Blanc has textbook aromas and flavors of white flowers, quince, honeysuckle, and a kiss of salty, chalky minerality. It's full-bodied and has beautiful richness, a layered, mouth-filling texture, and a gorgeous finish. Readers looking for a brilliant Hermitage Blanc that has classic aromas and flavors should buy a case of this. I love it even today, yet I'd give bottles a few years and enjoy over the following decade or more. Maturity: 2026-2036. Score - 94. (jebdunnuck.com, March 28, 2024)
