M. Chapoutier : L'Ermite 2011

Wine Advocate-Parker :
Always more dense, backward and focused, the 2011 Ermitage L'Ermite Blanc has everything I could want out of a white. Flower oil, apricot, honeysuckle, brioche, powdered rock and assorted tropical notes are just some of the nuances here, and this incredible wine is full-bodied and massive, yet elegant, fresh and delineated. Count yourself lucky if you're able to latch onto a couple of these!
