Maison Les Alexandrins Hermitage Blanc 0.75 2019

Region : Northern Rhone        The history of Hermitage is very old and according to a number of books it goes back to the Romans (500 years before Christ). The local legend relates the story of an 18th century knight who, returning from a crusade, built a chapel at the top of a hill and lived there like a hermit, hence the name Ermitage. Returning from a trip to Ermitage in 1787, Thomas Jefferson, the American Ambassador in France, declared his admiration for this white wine the best wine in the world, with no equal. His comments on the red wines were just as praising Full-bodied, dark purple with exquisite flavours.       Grape varieties : Marsanne & Rousanne       Tasting notes :        Pretty golden colour with shiny reflections. The nose shows delicacy with a nice minerality with aromas of peach, white flowers and a hint of exotic fruit. Its fresh and velvety mouth offers notes of white flowers, lemons evolving towards notes of brioche and toast. Nice length, very straight, a wine with finesse. Perfect match for poultry.
