2006 Ermitage Ex-voto blanc Guigal

Starting with the 2001 vintage, Guigal makes a white and red Ermitage Ex-Voto, based exclusively on grapes from the best plots, namely Murets (90%) and Hermite (10%) for the Hermitage Blanc; Bessards (30%), Greffieux (30%), Hermite (20%) and Murets (20%) for the red. Ex-Voto is made in very limited quantities and is only offered to a handful of importers in the world, including Philipson Wine. Ex-Voto is a dramatic white Hermitage, on a par with Guigal's legendary La Landonne, La Mouline and La Turque. A straw-gold, bold wine with an incredibly concentrated and broadly nuanced fruit and mineral undertones. The aftertaste of the wine lasts several minutes. Ex-Voto blanc is the Rhône Valley's answer to Burgundy's Montrachet.
