Wine of the Week

Thursday, August 11th, 2011

Hermitage Blanc, Belle Vineyards 1999

Recommended by our house sommelier, Christian Borel, this fantastic summer wine hails from Lamage village in Rhone Valley, France.  The vineyard itself is located just below Hermitage and is covered with limestone granite pebbles and vines over 20 years old, this gives Hermitage Blanc it’s unique flavor.

Crisp quince and honey citrus dominate this medium-bodied, richly fruity wine. A perfect summer wine to sip on the porch after a hot day or have with an elegant menu.
