Laurent Habrard Crozes-Hermitage Blanc 2020
Soft and pillowy bouquet of honeysuckle, pistachio, honeydew, and cantaloupe. Palette delivers silky cantaloupe, lime-aid, lemon curd, and a subtle herbal through-line of chamomile and fennel. The melon notes are opulent and lush without being sweet and the citrus notes are bright without an acidic edge, just the lively aromatics of zest without any tartness. Finish continues the melon notes along the rich, almost oiled, mouthfeel, with a modest moment of clean nectarine, giving just the subtlest palette-cleansing punctuation. One of our favorites and guaranteed to please fans of northern Rhone whites.
