Produced only in exceptional vintages, the Ermitage Ex-Voto is a 90% Marsanne; 10% Roussanne blend, and is the expression of a sincere desire to own vines in the Hermitage appellation and to produce an exceptional wine which reflects the soul of this prestigious appellation of the Rhône Valley.
Tasting Notes
On the nose, the Hermitage Ex Voto Blanc displays White flowers, hawthorn blossom, and acacia honey. Aromatic and very powerful. Rich and full-bodied. Fully expressive of the terroir which lends this Hermitage body and strength. A wonderful balance between a delicate and expressive nose and fleshy fruit on the palate underpinned by the powerful terroir.
Food Pairing
This wine goes perfectly with Pork, Rich fish such as Salmon & tuna, Matured and hard cheeses, poultry & cured meats
