A blend of 90% Marsanne and 10% Roussanne, Sorrel's 2019 Hermitage Blanc Les Rocoules is far and away his best effort among the vintage's whites. Scents of crushed stone accent ripe, honeyed notes of white peaches and pears, while the full-bodied palate is rich, round and mouth coating, echoing with hints of salted licorice on the slightly warm finish.

Going through malolactic fermentation when tasted. Barrel sample. Ripe mouthfeel with honeyed nuts and smoky tinged. Good acidity underpins the wine and there is a waxy finish. Hard to judge given it is so unfinished but real potential here. (AC)
