E. Guigal Ex-Voto Ermitage Blanc 2013

The 2013 Hermitage Ex Voto Blanc is a head-turner that offers sensational notes of buttered stone fruits, charcoal, toasted bread, toasted nuts and freshly crushed rocks. Take Marsanne and filter it through a bed of rocks, and you'd have an idea of what this beauty tastes like. Full-bodied, thick, unctuous and concentrated, it's certainly one of the most exciting dry whites coming from the Northern Rhône Valley today. Drink date: 2016-2024. Score - 97.
