Nicolas Perrin Winery - Hermitage 2010

Maison Nicolas Perrin - Hermitage 2010

Notes: Robert Parker 91/100, Bettane & Desseauve 16/20, RVF 15/20
"This exceptional 2010 Hermitage Blanc (blend of 70% Marsanne and 30% Roussanne aged in barrels) offers lovely notes of marzipan, crème brûlée, honeysuckle, rose water, and fresh fruit, with beautiful minerality and acidity. Drink this great white within the next 7 to 10 years. " (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker)

Rated estate (2014 guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking and, as such, all the estates listed in it, even those without stars, represent, in our opinion, the excellence of French production.)

About the estate:

This fledgling wine merchant was born out of a partnership between the Perrin family (of Château de Beaucastel in Châteauneuf-du-Pape) and Nicolas Jaboulet (former director of the family business Paul Jaboulet et Fils). Two big names from the south and north of the valley, who are releasing a small collection of northern wines. The wines are selected from the barrel before malolactic fermentation at the winegrowers' premises, then matured at Perrin, near Orange. This is followed by blending. The style of the whites is precise, dry and straightforward, of a good intermediate level. To date, we prefer the brightness and density of the reds."
