initially dismissed by some critics who found the standard-release wines somewhat austere relative to the generous 2010 and 2012 vintages

while the finish is lifted by citrus freshness and a chalky mineral note

concentrated year that produced white Hermitage of outstanding richness without sacrificing the natural acidity and mineral character that distinguishes the finest Hermitage blanc from the more opulent white wines of the Midi

the wine is grown on granite-rich soils at high elevations

placing it firmly in the second tier of recent classic vintages (below the legendary 2016 and 2015 but above the cooler and more linear 2014)
