Domaine Marc Sorrel Hermitage Blanc Les Rocoules 2023

"The enormously deep nose of candied citrus peel, floral honey and acacia blossoms pulls you into this incredibly concentrated, full-bodied white Hermitage. The textural complexity is off the scale, yet the wine is so precise and elegant in the long, breathtaking finish. A cuvee of 90% marsanne and 10% roussanne planted in the 1920s by the winemaker's grandfather. Bottled unfiltered and unfined. Drink or hold."

Marc Sorrel took over the Sorrel Domaine from his father in 1982. While he was thrown headfirst into the deep end after his father’s death Marc has managed to create a brand that can consider itself to be an outstanding producer of refined, traditional Hermitage wines. Marc is a fierce traditionalist and his philosophy is non-interventionist, which is reflected in the style of wine he makes – full, well structured and long lived.
