  Amazing white. A superb mix of fruits, raspberry (!), orange blossom, flower, with perfect acidity on the extra long finish.

  100% Marsanne. Ripe tropical fruits, banana, apricot, apricot, yellow apple. Broad shouldered, very classic, and with enough vibrancy to carry the weight.

  Kings of Rhône: Kings of Rhône virtual masterclass moderated by WA‘s Joe Czerwinski featuring both Michel Chapoutier and Philippe Guigal who presented 5 wines each. Including shipping and storage, all wines spent approx. 1 week in a screw cap phial. In this direct face-off, Guigal had the upper hand claiming the top 3 wines: La Turque 2017 (98), La Mouline 2016 (97), Ex-Voto Blanc 2017 (96). Chapoutier's top wine was the Le Pavillon 2015 (95). Full list included in the tasting story.
  
  Tasting note:
  This is 100% Marsanne. Lots of salty minerality would be the dominant feature here. Then also crushed rock and matchstick surrounding a white peach type of fruit. Soft texture with greatly shaped acidity built into it. According to Michel Chapoutier the best white Hermitage vintages were 1955 and then again 2019 and this is no doubt an outstanding wine seeing eye-to-eye with Guigal's Ex Voto Blanc.
