Gabriel Meffre Laurus Hermitage Blanc 2022

Checking in at 14.5% alcohol, the 2022 Hermitage Blanc Laurus is a deep straw-hued, full-bodied elixir that’s the opposite of shy. Redolent lemon zest, yellow apple, ripe pear, white peach and a flicker of lanolin rise up from the glass. Bundling elevated substance, the generous 202[2] leaves the spotlight with ample length on the eccentric finish. Drinking window: 2025-2032. (Nicolas Greinacher,vinous.com,Jan 23, 2025)
