91 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "An unusual blend of 90% Roussanne with 10% Marsanne, the 2017 Saint Peray Grain de Silex is a perennial star. Honeyed orange marmalade on the nose pick up hints of melon and citrus on the fresh, lively finish. Medium to full-bodied, it's weighty on the palate yet turns zesty and refreshing on the finish. (JC)" (12/2018) Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2017 Saint-Péray Grain De Silex is good value and is predominantly Roussanne with 10% Marsanne. It offers lively spiced citrus, lemon, and sappy green herbs notes as well as a ...

94 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2014 Marsanne is my favorite of these recent or forthcoming releases from Tercero, and anyone who loves the great whites of the Northern Rhône is going to want to seek this out. The wine opens in the glass with a lovely bouquet of buttered apples, toasted macadamia nuts, smoke, honeycomb and a touch of leesiness that takes some time to unwind. On the palate, it's full-bodied, very concentrated and deep, with chewy extract and a wonderful savory quality, concluding with a long and penetrating finish. Not only ...

90 points Decanter: "Lovely aromas of cream and stone fruit. An easy-going and gentle style which speaks of the appellation with a ripe mango taste and moderate finish. (2019 DWWA)" 88-90 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2017 Saint Joseph Vania Blanc offers a rustic yet charming bouquet of green herbs, green citrus, white flowers, and hints of honeyed minerality. It's nicely balanced, with good acidity and a clean finish. Drink it over the coming 2-3 years. The blend is 80% Marsanne and 20% Roussanne, brought up in 50% new French oak."

100 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2015 Hermitage Ex Voto Blanc is certainly in the same league as the 2009 and 2010, and it’s going to be interesting to compare these vintages over the coming 2-3+ decades. The 2015 has all the hallmarks of a great vintage with its huge bouquet of quince, toasted almonds, brioche, liquid rocks, and honeysuckle as well as touch of licorice. Sensationally concentrated, opulent, and multi-dimensional on the palate, it has bright acidity and an awesome sense of minerality that keep the wine chiseled and focused on the palate. It h ...

94 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar: "(100% marsanne): Bright gold. Orange oil and pear on the pungent, mineral-dominated nose. Rich, dense and focused, with a complex array of palate-staining orchard and pit fruit flavors. Broad and smooth but light on its feet thanks to a spine of zesty minerality. Very smooth and gently sweet on the endless finish, which leaves notes of honey and bitter pear skin behind. (JR)" (03/2012) 93 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2010 Hermitage La Chapelle Blanc is 100% Marsanne from the vineyard ...

100 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "Another perfect wine is the 2015 Ermitage le Meal Blanc. The most decadent, unctuous and layered in the lineup, with to-die-for notes of white currants, toasted nuts, celery seed and licorice, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a huge mid-palate and a refreshing, pure, yet blockbuster finish that just won’t quit. If I had to pick a desert island white, this might be it. Drink through 2046. (JD)" (12/2016) 97 points Wine Spectator: "Lovely, featuring waves of Jonagold apple, mirabelle plum, lemon cur ...

100 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "One of the most singular wines I’m able to taste each year is unquestionably the l’Ermite Blanc from Chapoutier and it certainly lives up to the billing in 2015. Offering what I can only describe as a liquid rock (a liqueur of rocks?) character intermixed with notes of buttered citrus, pineapple, smoked meats, charcoal and toast, the 2015 Ermitage l’Ermite is full-bodied, decadent and locked and loaded on the palate. It needs 2-3 years of cellaring and I suspect will keep for half a century. (JD)" (12/2016) 98 ...

Wine Spectator: "This sparkler offers a lovely Jonagold apple core, with hints of ginger, melon rind, star fruit and ginger weaving in and out. The lovely, lightly firm mousse gives the finish cut. Drink now. 200 cases made. (JM)" (05/2015) K&L Notes: Remy Nodin founded his winery in 2008. Prior to that, his fruit was all sold to the large cooperative Cave de Tain. He farms 9 hectares throughout the northern Rhone including holdings in Crozes-Hermitage, Cornas, St. Joseph and Saint-Peray. It is worth noting that Saint-Peray in its heyday produced spark ...

95 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2017 Saint Joseph Les Granits Blanc is beautiful and continues to be one of my favorite white wines coming from this appellation (if not the entire Rhône valley). This light gold-colored effort offers up a classic, mineral-laced bouquet of crushed citrus, white flowers, toasted almonds, and spice. Rich, medium to full-bodied, concentrated and incredibly elegant, it's a thrilling white wine that can be drunk today or cellared for over a decade. This cuvée is 100% Marsanne aged in 15% new demi-muids." (12/2018) 93 points Decan ...

92-94 points Vinous: "Pale yellow. Aromas of fresh pear, melon and white peach are complicated by orange zest and jasmine nuances. Nervy and penetrating on the palate, offering mineral-tinged pear and tangerine flavors that deepen steadily on the back half. Anise and ginger emerge on an impressively long, mineral-dominated finish that echoes the floral and pear notes. (JR)" (05/2018)

96 points Jeb Dunnuck: "Also terrific, the tiny production 2016 Ermitage Le Reverdy Blanc is a blend of 80% Marsanne and 20% Roussanne brought up in demi-muids. It gives up more honeyed marmalade, wood smoke, caramelized citrus and crushed rocks aromatics. Rich, unctuous and concentrated on the palate, with gorgeous purity, it has building structure, and a great, great finish. It’s up with the crème de la crème of the vintage and should not be missed. Give bottles a year or so and enjoy over the following two decades. The only downside to these latest r ...

94 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2017 Saint-Péray Cuvée Prestige is also brilliant, with buttered citrus, peach, tangerine, and some salty characteristics all just about soaring from the glass. Medium to full-bodied, pure, elegant and layered, it shows the vintage’s richer, riper style yet has freshness, purity, and focus. This cuvée is 80% Marsanne and 20% Roussanne, and spent ten months in barrel." (12/2018) 93 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2017 Saint Peray Cuvée Prestige is a blend of 80% Marsanne (from 100-year-old vines) and 20% Roussanne. ...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The full-bodied 2017 Saint Peray Marsanne is round and rich, an obvious candidate for early consumption. Marshmallow, melon, pear and quince notes all play out in this broad, textural white. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. (JC)" (10/2018)

100 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "As in 2016, my favorite of the white parcel selections this year is the 2017 Ermitage l'Ermite Blanc (231 cases produced), as it perfectly balances richness and power with refinement and structure. Toasted brioche and citrus marmalade, honey and truffle notes deliver sheer full-bodied, mouth-filling decadence, supported by austere notes of crushed granite, zesty grapefruit rind and cooling brine. Huge and intense yet refreshing, it's the essence of granite-grown Marsanne. (JC)" (10/2018) 98 points Decanter: "T ...

94-97 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "Jaboulet's 2017 Hermitage Blanc Le Chevalier de Sterimberg is approximately two-thirds Marsanne and one-third Roussanne. Subtle notes of crushed stone and pencil shavings frame honey, pineapple and baking spices, all wrapped around a tensile core of tangerine and lime. In a year when no La Chapelle Blanc is being made, this is the top white Hermitage from Jaboulet, and it's a beauty, with a silky texture and a long, mouthwatering finish.(JC)" (10/2018) 94 points Jeb Dunnuck: "Brought up just like the Crozes ...

94 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "A barrel-fermented blend of 50% Marsanne and 50% Roussanne, the 2017 Crozes Hermitage Domaine Mule Blanche is a terrific example of what those varieties can do when they're grown in the right location and vinified with care. Gentle toasted grain scents waft from the glass, along with notes of marshmallow and melon. It's full-bodied and richly textured, with notes of pineapple, crème brûlée and citrus on the long finish.(JC)" (10/2018) 92 points Jeb Dunnuck: "From the Thalabert estate, which is mostly rolled sto ...

97 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2016 Ermitage De L’Orée is also beautiful in the vintage and has a huge nose of buttered citrus, white flowers, orange blossom, and liquid rocks. Rich, full-bodied, beautifully pure and elegant, it has a seamless feel on the palate, terrific acidity, and a great finish. Coming all from the Les Murets lieu-dit and brought up in 15% new demi-muids, give this beauty 2-3 years of bottle age and it will shine for 2-3 decades. Drink 2021-2041."

100 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The best of the lineup in 2016 is unquestionably the 2016 Ermitage L’Ermite Blanc, which is all Marsanne from the granite soils at the top of Hermitage hill that was brought up in 25% new demi-muids. Boasting a crazy bouquet of exotic tropical fruits, liquid rocks, white flowers, celery seed, and licorice, it’s deep, rich, and powerful on the palate, with the more upfront, elegant and pure style of the vintage, yet has awesome richness, fatness and opulence. It’s a legendary white that I suspect will have 4-5 decades of life." (1 ...

97 points Jeb Dunnuck: "Similarly colored, the 2016 Ermitage Le Méal Blanc comes from a warmer terroir of pebbly and more loess soils and was brought up in 10% new demi-muids. It's a bigger, richer wine than the de l’Orée and boasts rocking notes of honeyed citrus, orange marmalade, baking spices, and licorice. Rich, powerful, and layered on the palate, it's another rocking white from this team that will drink nicely for two decades or more."

100 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "Because of a change in French laws, the 2010 Ermitage Vin de Paille will be the last sweet wine made by Chapoutier. Made from 100% Marsanne, this perfect wine exhibits an incredible perfume of truffles, apricot jam and caramelized tangerines. This noble, surgically precise classic can be drunk now or cellared for over 100 years. It is a remarkable wine, and it’s a shame to see this cuvee discontinued (RP)" (12/2012) 99 points Wine Spectator: "Very intense, with a tightly focused beam of apricot eau-de-vie, qui ...
