2020 Domaine Marc Sorrel Hermitage Blanc

Other Reviews....
Sorrel's "classic" white Hermitage comes essentially from les Greffieux. From 60-year-old Marsanne vines and set to spend a total of 18 months in older oak (nothing newer than four years), a barrel sample of the 2020 Hermitage Blanc was a thrilling joyride of honeyed white peaches and ripe pears. Full-bodied, rich and incredibly textural, it should be a beauty. Drink 2022 - 2035.

The classic 2020 Hermitage Blanc from Sorrel is 100% Marsanne aged 18 months in barrel. It reveals a light gold hue as well as beautiful aromatics of ripe quince, toasted almonds, minty herbs, and spices. Beautifully balanced on the palate, this medium to full-bodied effort has flawless balance, a focused, elegant, yet powerful mouthfeel, and a great finish. Count me impressed – I'd be a buyer.

Fresh, measured, precise aromatics. Full-bodied but not massive, with great power and minerality. Fresh, clear and well-defined on the palate, with a touch of bitterness on the finish. From 60-year-old vines from Les Greffieux (80%) and Les Plantiers (20%), no new oak. Drink 2022 - 2030.

100% Marsanne. Les Greffieux and Les Plantiers. Cask sample tasted at the domaine.
Ripe but zesty with pear and quince notes. Palate round, supple, gourmand with a minerally freshness rather than acidity. Alcohol not obtrusive so there is balance. Drink 2024-2035.
