NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Bernard Faurie Hermitage Blanc is a stunningly pure expression of the legendary region of Hermitage.The aromas are of ripe pear, white flowers, and almond, while the palate is concentrated and vibrant, with a beautifully balanced acidity and a persistent finish of lemon meringue and quince. The wine is intensely mineral, with a hint of almond paste that lingers on the palate. The finish is long and savory, with a delightful complexity that will continue to evolve with time. A truly magnificent wine for special occasions.

ORIGINS
Winery: Bernard Faurie
Region: Rhone
The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.CUSTOMER RATING
