Tasting Notes

The 2010 Ermitage le Meal Blanc is pure perfection in a glass. One of the densest, most concentrated, decadent and thrilling whites I've tasted, it offers a sensational bouquet of crème caramel, caramelized peach, crushed rock and smoke. Unctuous and chewy on the palate, with awesome depth of fruit, it has thrilling purity, laser focus and a finish that just won't quit. White wine does not get any better and it will have an incredible 50+ years of longevity.

Score: 100

Remarkably lush, with wonderful poise, this carries hefty layers of creamed peach, ginger, graham, piecrust and dried nectarine suavely, revealing a frame of bitter citrus oil and toasted coconut notes on the finish. Should unwind slowly. Best from 2015 through 2030.

Score: 97

The 2010 Ermitage Le Meal Blanc, which comes from a warmer site, displays more tropical fruit, with loads of red currants intermixed with mango, orange marmalade, and exotic Asian scents. Dense, full-bodied, intense and rich, this is the most voluptuous and opulent of the blockbuster selections parcellaires whites of 2010. It should drink well for 30-35 years.

Score: 96 - 98
