Crozes-Hermitage Blanc

Crozes-Hermitage Blanc is the broad, approachable neighbour of the great white Hermitage: a soft, Marsanne-based Northern Rhône white, usually rounded out with a little Roussanne, grown on the flatter terraces around the Hermitage hill. It trades the grandeur and cellaring power of its famous neighbour for gentle weight, ripe pear and white peach, almond blossom and an easy, early-drinking freshness.
