M. Chapoutier 1999 De l’Orée Ermitage White (Hermitage)

Country: France / De l’Orée Ermitage
Variety: Rhône-style White Blend Rhône Valley

The name refers as much to the brilliant green-gold color of this wine as to its richness. A tiny production from selected parcels of old Marsanne vines, this is a beautifully rich, creamy wine with a touch of honey and flavors of ripe pears.
