Hermitage Blanc Les Rocules Laurent Habrard 2017: Crisp and Compelling

Elena Morozova — Great for a special dinner

8/10

Bought this for my wife's birthday dinner and it went down a treat with roast chicken. Really liked the citrus and stone fruit combo. Bit more than I'd normally spend on a bottle but it felt like a proper occasion wine.

Wei Zhang — Really nice but pricey

8/10

Saw this on a restaurant menu and figured why not. It's a lovely wine — buttery but not overdone, with nice lemony freshness. At £55 though I'm not sure I'd buy it regularly for home. Would definitely order it again on a night out.

Petra Novak — Stunning white, worth every penny

9/10

Picked this up after the guy at my local wine shop raved about it. The peach and lemon thing going on is gorgeous — it's rich but not heavy at all. That dry, chalky finish is something else. Honestly one of the best whites I've had this year.
