2023 Crozes-Hermitage Les Terres Blanches Blanc
QTY: 120 | Indent Offer Price: $44
93 points, Anna-Christina Cabrales, Wine Enthusiast
A focused expression of vibrant orchard fruit, accented by pineapple, acacia, and a dash of white pepper. The palate is impeccably balanced, offering a pure core of fresh fruit and a subtle floral lift. Ready now, but will reward cellaring for 3+ years.
93 points, Jeb Dunnuck
Based on 70% Marsanne and 30% Roussanne aged in a mix of new oak and stainless steel, the 2023 Crozes-Hermitage Les Terres Blanches Blanc offers white peach, white flowers, crushed stone, and chalky mineral notes. Focused and elegant, with beautiful purity and a graceful style, this is another gorgeous Crozes from this team. Drink 2025-2030.
2023 Hermitage Blanc
QTY: 36 | Indent Offer Price: $181
94 points, Jeb Dunnuck
A beautiful white in the vintage, the 2023 Hermitage Blanc checks in as a blend of 60% Marsanne and 40% Roussanne, aged predominantly in new French oak. It has a pure, vibrant nose of tart peach, quince, and melon as well as some minty, floral, and mineral nuances. Playing in the medium-bodied end of the spectrum, it has a fresh, lively, nicely balanced mouthfeel, integrated acidity, and outstanding length. Drink bottles over the coming decade. Drink 2025-2035.
93 points, James Suckling
A balanced, velvety and layered white with apples, spiced pears, warm herbs and warm spices on the nose. It’s medium-bodied with texture. Well rounded and delicious, with subtle fruit and a white flower lift toward the long, savory finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
2022 Cuvée Louis Belle Crozes-Hermitage
QTY: 120 | Indent Offer Price: $58
93 points, Jeb Dunnuck
loved the elegance and purity of the 2022 Crozes-Hermitage Cuvée Louis Belle, a medium-to-full-bodied, ripe, yet seamless, beautifully balanced Crozes with ultra-fine tannins. It gives up both red and blue fruits as well as some peppery spice and floral notes. If well stored, it's going to continue to drink well for 10-15 years. Drink 2025-2037.
93 points, Anna-Christina Cabrales, Wine Enthusiast
Powerful and aromatic, this wine opens with an intriguing veil of bacon fat, smoke, tobacco, tarragon, and cypress, all atop ripe black plums baking on terracotta. The palate is complex and focused, with a vein of granitic minerality and smoke. Tannins cling to the sides of the mouth, and accentuate black tea and a soft cocoa nib finish. Cellar through 2030+ to fully unveil its beauty.
2022 Hermitage Rouge
QTY: 36 | Indent Offer Price: $221
95 points, Jeb Dunnuck
Ripe black fruits, scorched earth, chocolate, and peppered meat-like nuances all emerge from the 2022 Hermitage, a concentrated 2022 that shows the ripe, sunny side to the vintage in its aromatics yet also the more focused, structured style on the palate. Aged 26 months in 50% new French oak, it's going to benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age and evolve gracefully over the following 15+ years. Drink 2029-2044.
94 points, James Suckling
A well-structured, textured, flavorful and driven Hermitage with dark berries, warm spices, roasted meat and leather. Full-bodied with fine tannins and a dense, concentrated core of berries, spices and dark chocolate. Polished tannins add drive and focus. Peppery and long. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
