WINE DESCRIPTION
Tardieu-Laurent Hermitage Blanc is a premium white wine produced by Tardieu-Laurent, a renowned winery in the Rhône Valley. The wine is made from grapes grown in the Hermitage appellation, which is known for its steep, terraced vineyards and granite soils. The winemakers use traditional techniques to craft this wine, including hand-harvesting and barrel fermentation. The resulting wine is rich and complex, with aromas of white flowers, honey, and citrus. On the palate, it is full-bodied and creamy, with flavors of ripe stone fruit and a long, mineral finish.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Tardieu-Laurent Hermitage Blanc from the Northern Rhône offers aromas of ripe pear, mango and dried apricot.On the palate, the wine is silky and soft, with a creamy texture and lingering finish of floral and stone fruit. The wine displays a beautiful balance of acidity and minerality, with a subtle hint of oak and spice. Enjoy this white now, but it will also age gracefully in the bottle.

ORIGINS
Winery: Tardieu-Laurent
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
