In the glass
Aroma: golden honey, ripe peach, beeswax, exotic spice, white flowers
Palate: enormously rich and textured, golden stone fruit, new oak vanilla, mineral backbone, very long finish
The white companion to Guigal's Ex-Voto rouge, from old Marsanne and Roussanne vines on the Hermitage hill. Massively rich and textured with extraordinary ageing potential.
