The 2013 Crozes Hermitage Blanc is another brilliant white coming from the Northern Rhone that readers need to check out. Exhibiting excellent notes of apple blossom, honeyed peach and citrus, it’s medium-bodied, has bright acidity and clean, classy finish that will keep it versatile on the dinner table. A blend of Marsanne and Roussanne brought up in equal parts stainless steel and demi-muid, drink it over the coming 2-3 years.
