Colombier, Hermitage Blanc other_regions_italy What stands out in the

What stands out in the 2016 is the combination of freshness

pure and expressive with ripe red and black pinot fruit that gives way gracefully to wonderfully seductive middle weight flavors that possess good mid-palate concentration and while the finish possesses a slight tanginess

Here too there is a relatively supple mid-palate mouthfeel to the slightly finer broad- shouldered flavors that possess a gorgeous texture

There is excellent vibrancy to the detailed and stony middle weight flavors that are not particularly dense but do offer outstanding length where the supporting tannins are quite fine grained in the context of what is typical for Lavaux

This is very Perrières in character

Colombier, Hermitage Blanc other_regions_italy What stands out in theLight, bright straw yellow. A deeply perfumed bouquet evokes pear and peach nectar, honey, vanilla, toasted almond and smoky minerals. Rich and fleshy but lively as well, offering sappy orchard, pit fruit and marzipan flavors that are braced by a spine of juicy acidity. Finishes chewy, focused and long, with lingering pear, honey notes and a hint of anise. Josh Raynolds
