Goedhuis, March 2024
From a plot of old Marsanne vines (80 years) planted in the famous Maison Blanche sector, Colombier’s white Hermitage is a wonderfully muscular style of this great vineyard. Tightly wound for now, there are intriguing mineral depths to the rich, savoury fruit, white flowers and dried herbs. Bright and fresh, with a waxy texture and a long luxurious, yet lifted, finish. Drink 2026-2035.

This 16 hectare estate is run by brothers Florent and David Viale and produces a dark, bold interpretation of Hermitage. These wines are brawny and powerful, and have a distinctive flavour palette of black fruits, black olive tapenade, and graphite smokiness.

Region
Hermitage
Hermitage is a region that produces both red and white wines. Its famous red is made from 100% Syrah while the white is produced from Marsanne and/or Roussanne. A sweeter and very rare white wine is also produced from grapes that have been dried on straw before being pressed. A slighter warmer micro-climate enables Hermitage's red wines to have more ripeness and structure than Côte Rôtie which adds additional power and longevity. As a result, they are usually the most ‘masculine' styled reds in all of the northern Rhône.
