NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Laurus Hermitage Blanc is a truly remarkable white wine.It has a bright golden hue that is followed by an intense aroma of tropical fruits, citrus, and honey. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and has a nice balance of acidity and minerality. The flavors of peach, apricot, and honey are complemented by a subtle spice that lingers on the finish. The overall impression is one of elegance and finesse. It is an excellent choice for any occasion.

ORIGINS

Winery: Laurus

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.
