"Not overly complex but more broad, soft, and supple, the 2023 Crozes-Hermitage Hauterives Blanc offers ripe melon, pineapple, and minty flowers. Based on 60% Marsanne and 40% Roussanne, it's supple and layered on the palate, with beautiful purity and texture. It's going to drink nicely for 4-6 years. Drink 2025-2031."

"Bright citrus, orange blossom, honeyed flowers, and even a hint of mint all emerge from the 2022 Crozes-Hermitage Les Pontaix Blanc, a medium-bodied, juicy, focused, elegant white from Crozes that has terrific overall balance and a great finish. It's going to be versatile on the dinner table."

"A slice of pear, yellow apple, honeysuckle and lemon flesh aromas introduce the 2023 Crozes-Hermitage Blanc Hauterives. Medium-bodied, round and elegant, the 2023 hits the palate with ample flavor concentration and checks out with persistence on the sapid close."
