The 1996 Hermitage Le Rouet blanc is a blend of equal parts Roussanne and Marsanne that achieved 14.3% alcohol naturally. This wine reveals copious quantities of white Hermitage's floral/honeysuckle characteristics, along with minerals and smoke. A top-flight white Hermitage, it should drink well for 7-8 years.
