Domaine Habrard (Laurent Habrard)
Crozes-Hermitage White Rhone Blend
Crozes-Hermitage, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
One of my faves in an electric vintage. Lemon jelly, spice, tangerine, peach, lovey pithy and pit-like quality to the fruits. Really nuanced spice. Very nice. Palate is vibrant and dense with loads of energy and taut tropical fruits. Think papaya and mango with mega acids that freaky Marsanne minerality. Lovey mouthfeel and intensity. Great wine. Super complex, so elegant and so much minerality and energy.

Apr 2nd, 2019White Rhone wild ride with a cheesy, nutty fruitless nose upon opening that slows transforms with 45 minutes of air. Moved to peach and tangerine fruit with accents of hazelnut and minerals. Palate had richness and a touch of alcohol along with orange and pear fruit flavors. Never totally resolved the slight cheesy quality but remains an interesting wine.

Nose is an elegant tropical fruit cocktail. Tropical flowers. Gorgeous.
Palate has sufficient minerality. Juicy.
